The Action Plan, which the Commission endorsed on July 17, 2008, includes as one of six objectives, "enable the Planning Commission to focus on higher-level policy issues". This objective contains "reform the Discretionary Review Process, with the public, the Planning Commission, and staff as intended beneficiaries". An internal working group – consisting of Glenn Cabreros, Lisa Chau, Kate Conner, Elaine Forbes, Jonas Ionin, Cecilia Jaroslawsky, David Lindsay, Craig Nikitas, Scott Sanchez, Aaron Starr, Tina Tam and Elizabeth Watty – began meeting weekly starting on August 5, 2008 to develop a draft proposal to improve the Discretionary Review Process. The internal working group reviewed prior audits from the Board of Supervisor's Budget Analyst, Matrix Consulting, and the SPUR AIA report, conducted jurisdictional comparisons, reviewed case trends and used professional experience to develop a draft proposal.
