San Marino resident Dr. Kamal Batniji urged the city council to overturn a planning commission denial of a home addition at 1883 Orlando Rd. After appeals from Batniji and his architect Robert Wood, the council remanded the case to the planning commission for reconsideration. Batniji, owner of a 1920s Wallace Neff home, has pursued the permit for two years amid code changes and revised plans, arguing the addition should be grandfathered.
