of the other specific locations because we had over 100 PUDs and to find out which one is required, typically I'd have to say you really need to work with a broker. You need to find a couple of addresses and then call me back with those addresses. With the specific address I can then look up whether you can do your specific business so our process right now is not very user - friendly. So our first site that we have developed that is now online and running is zoning check. Zoning check allows you to put in a specific use like a doggie daycare and it's going to give you a map that looks like this. You can type in a specific address if you like or you can just put "show me the map ". If you have "show me the map" it will show something like this where everything in green is where you're automatically permitted. Everything in yellow is conditionally permitted and grey is not permitted at all. So this is something where you don't know where you want to go. You just know you want to be in Pleasanton and this is the site that you go to. The next site that we developed is our OpenCounter site; our land use and fee estimates. This is for businesses that are a little further along. They have a specific address, they know where they want to go, but they don't know what permits or applications they have to apply for. So, this is our OpenCounter land use —it requires a little bit more upfront work. It has a user - friendly questionnaire that you go through. It asks you things like, "Are you adding a new sign ? ", or "Are you painting your building ? ", "Are you adding new plumbing fixtures ? ", "Are you adding new electrical fixtures ?" And from the questionnaire, it will bounce around and ask you a bunch of different questions and then at the end it will tell you, okay, from everything you input you're going to require a Sign Design Review application, a CUP, an electrical permit and it will give you fee estimates for all of those because you're also going to put the square footage of your tenant space. It's going to ask you your job valuation and so forth. So this is something that upfront is going to be able to give businesses fee estimates from start to finish of what they're looking for. As part of this process, they can then submit that application directly to the City. It will send it to the building division and the planning division and we'll be able to review it and contact you directly and say, okay, we have everything you're looking for. Let's schedule a meeting, let's have you come in with your plans so we can discuss it with you. For planning, we need 15 sets of plans, or we need 5 sets of plans, and go through everything they need for a CUP, Design Review permit applications, the same thing with a building permit. Commissioner Balch: A quick question on that? So you were saying for businesses, does it work if you were adding a bathroom to your house like residential? Hagen: No, it's only for businesses right now. Commissioner Balch: The whole portal or just that section? Hagen: The whole portal. Commissioner Balch: I see.
