While no one's going quite this far yet (alas), the mayor's approach actually isn't too far from this, e.g. for housing:

> The new measure would require an approval process of no longer than six months for projects that meet existing zoning rules...[1]

or for SMBs:

> the ballot measure would require that permit applications for storefront uses that are allowed by the current zoning be reviewed within 30 days, compared to what can sometimes be months of review [2]

Unfortunately the first one is postponed indefinitely because COVID made signature collection impossible, but the second will be on the ballot in November.
