While Special Filming Conditions may be included as terms on permits for filming, "they are not intended to, and do not, establish criteria or standards for determining whether or not a particular permit (or permits) will be issued for any area....The decision to issue a particular permit is vested in the discretion of the appropriate City or County department or their designees (including FilmL.A., Inc.), to be exercised consistent with public health, safety and general welfare, and applicable land-use ordinances."
