The decision whether or not a particular permit (or permits) will be issued is vested in the discretion of the appropriate City or County department or their designees (including the Entertainment Industry Development Corporation / Los Angeles Film Office), to be exercised consistent with public health, safety and general welfare, and applicable land-use ordinances.
