Laguna Niguel resident says permit 'minor adjustment' has been stalled for years

Muhammad Asha addressed the council during public comment to complain about repeated delays on a "permit for a minor adjustment," saying the process has taken two and a half years and two additional months of delay. Asha said he supplied approval from his homeowners' association and a supporting attorney letter and told council members, "I provided everything that necessary for that and I supported with document and paper. So it's really they are leaving me with no choice other than I said last time seeking a legal action."

He asked the council to find a solution and said he had not heard confirmation that the documents were distributed to council members. The matter was presented as a constituent service complaint; no staff response or immediate council direction was recorded in the meeting minutes.
