The Director's refusal to extend the special purpose lease was not a public‑law decision susceptible to judicial review because the decision concerned enforcement of private lease conditions and determination of use and assignments; alternatively, even if reviewable, the decision was lawful: the lot was not being used for the original purpose (ancestral temple) and the assignments breached the permanent prohibition against assignment, entitling refusal of extension; application dismissed.
