The City Manager’s Weekly Report, just posted at 8:27 PM tonight included the following:

As you know, a notice was posted indicating that Chevron’s energy and hydrogen renewal project application would be reviewed by the Design Review Board at its next regular meeting, which is Wednesday, December 12^th.  Chevron was unable to complete and submit all of the project information that was required by City staff for this hearing based on the City’s Design Review ordinance.  As a result, the Design Review Board hearing on the Chevron energy and hydrogen renewal project application that was scheduled for this coming Wednesday is cancelled.  Chevron anticipates that it will complete all of the submittal requirements shortly, with the projection that the application would then be reviewed by the Board at its January 9^th meeting.

Maybe I was a little harsh on City staff. They seem to be doing the right thing this time.
