However, the law amendment sought by the PP, the Council loses almost all its powers, and the Town Planning now controls "single person" more than two dozen performances, among which include the granting of any license including child labor, segregation, division of property, subdivision, first occupation, openness and business establishments and industries and certificates of occupancy and second occupation.
