(b) Administration Review. The Chief Building Official or designee shall coordinate reviews of pending conditional zoning applications by the various City departments. The Director shall present such written reports to the Commission in timely fashion, prior to Commission action on the pending application.
(c) Time Period. The Commission shall act as soon as practical on the pending application, but in no event shall the Commission act later than 30 days after the date of the public hearing. The review period may be extended by agreement with the applicant.
(d) Form of Action. The Planning Commission shall, after review of the application and all other information presented, take one of the following actions:
(1) Approve a conditional zoning certificate based upon findings of compliance with all standards and requirements of this Code and subject to conditions established by the Commission; or
(2) Deny a conditional zoning application. In denying an application, the Commission shall clearly state the reason(s) for this action.
(e) Conditions. In approving a conditional zoning certificate, the Planning Commission may establish such additional conditions as it deems necessary to protect the public welfare, preserve the purpose and intent of this Zoning Code, to protect the character of the surrounding properties and neighborhood, and to mitigate any special characteristics of the use. Such conditions may include, but shall not be limited to, factors such as location and setbacks; landscaping, screening and buffers; access and circulation for vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians; noise control; development features such as paving, parking, and signs; hours and methods of operation; site maintenance, including landscaping; and means to control effects such as odors, dust, and refuse mater. The Commission may also establish time limits if the proposed use is to be temporary or requirements for periodic reviews by the Commission to insure continuing compliance with the conditional zoning certificate or to review changed circumstances.
(f) Reapplication. No application for a conditional zoning certificate which has been denied wholly or in part by the Commission shall be resubmitted until the expiration of one year or more from the date of such denial, except on grounds of newly discovered evidence or proof of changed conditions which would be sufficient to justify reconsideration as determined by the Commission.
