CoStar maps the parcel. Shovels tells you the permit was filed.
We tell you how the board voted and what conditions came with the approval.
We read every hearing and pull what the board decided: the vote, the conditions, and how requests like yours fared. That is the layer a parcel map and a permit feed do not carry.
