(A) Hearing procedures.
(1) At all hearings held pursuant to this subchapter, before either the Planning Commission or the City Council, any interested person shall be heard, and applicable staff reports relating to such matter shall be considered.
(2) In proceedings pursuant to § 153.200.060 to abate a nonconforming use, building or structure, the Commission and/or Council shall determine whether the applicable prima facie period, as set forth in § 153.200.060, is appropriate as applied to the facts of that case. In making such determination, the Commission and/or Council shall consider the date the buildings or structures were constructed, the original costs thereof, whether such original cost has been, or could have been, recovered by the owner under generally accepted accounting practices, and whether it is feasible to relocate such building or structures.
(B) Authority to extend abatement. The Commission and/or Council may extend the prima facie periods of abatement, as set forth in § 153.200.060, in order to establish a reasonable period of abatement, based upon the facts presented at the hearing.
