The Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing on the proposed Special Use. Public notice of such public hearing shall be given to the applicant and to the record title holders of property that are immediately adjacent to, adjoining, abutting, or directly across the street from the property on which the special use is proposed.

, shall be submitted to the Planning Commission and reviewed and approved pursuant to the applicable provisions of Sections 1228.09
through 1228.18
prior to a building permit being issued.
(b) If the proposed use is found not to comply with the specifications of this Planning and Zoning Code, the Planning Commission shall deny the application. The Planning Commission shall indicate in its minutes the reasons for its action.
