What a permit record does not carry
A permit record is the construction paperwork: a number, a type, a status and a date. The land-use decision that made the project legal happened earlier, in a public hearing, and it is not in the permit portal. ZoneWire has read 63 San Diego council and commission meetings from the last 24 months and holds 32 land-use decisions from them, each with the board that heard it, and the vote where one was recorded.

No. A permit record is the construction paperwork: a number, a type, a status and a date. The land-use decision that made the project legal happened earlier, in a public hearing, and it is not in the permit portal. That hearing is a separate public record, held by the board that heard it.
The permit tells you someone is building. The hearing tells you what they agreed to.
A ZoneWire subscription opens the decision behind the filing: how each board member voted, the conditions the board attached where it set any.
