The Council shall act on every request for a special use permit at its next regularly scheduled meeting following submission of the Zoning Board of Appeals advisory report. Without further public hearing, the Council may approve or disapprove a special use permit by an ordinance passed by simple majority vote of all members than holding office. In a separate statement accompanying any such ordinance, the Council shall state its findings of fact, and indicate its reasons for approving (with or without conditions) or denying the request for a special use permit.
