(B) The City Council may reverse or affirm wholly or partly or may modify the order, requirement, decision, or determination as in its opinion ought to be made in the premises and to that end shall have all the powers of the officer from whom the appeal was taken and may issue or direct the issuance of a permit. The Council shall make written findings of fact and keep appropriate minutes of its meetings. The reasons for the Council’s decisions may be stated.
