Public Comment: <br />Jason Dai, representing Tiffany Xu, spoke regarding the three reasons for denial <br />stated in Sergeant Harper's letter.

He stated that Jason Dai cannot be considered financially <br />involved with the business because the business license stage has not been <br />reached as yet. Regarding the businesses located in Fremont and Walnut Creek, <br />he stated that the Fremont business has been in good standing for 5 years <br />without any problems. The Walnut Creek business has been in place for one <br />year. He stated that upon filing for the use permit, he and Ms. Xu followed all the <br />rules, did not misrepresent any information, provided identification and <br />necessary paperwork.

He stated that while <br />there may have been omission or lack of completeness of documents, there was <br />no falsification.
