The Request for Director's Review form was technically received outside of the required 5-day window. The
Notice of Violation was issued on 3/10/2026 and the Request for Director's Review was submitted on
3/19/2026. However, given that spring break occurred within the window, we will be processing the request and
providing a response.
From what I have read, they are not providing any new information that would warrant a different decision than
what was issued in the December 11, 2025 letter advising that the use permit was revoked due to lack of
recognition from CalPoly.

Greetings Amel,
Rami Salem is assigned to both cases that you reference in your emails. Unfortunately, both Rami and John
have been out of the office this week. I was able to find the NOV for 244 California and it does appear that the
request for directors’ review was submitted within the five days.
Rami and John will both be back next week and will be able to address the investigation materials. However, if
you need more information today and I can try to gather as much of the investigative record as possible and
send them to you.
Please advise.
Sincerely,
Nick Buckley
