The simple answer is including sunset clauses in every ZBA/OPA. You would very quickly get rid of all the fake proposals because you'd keep on having to reapply for ZBA/OPAs if you're just sitting and that becomes unprofitable real quick.

I don't know the answer to this question, but do developers have to pay the full cost of staff time consumed in evaluating proposals?
