A. An Amendment shall require a minimum of one hearing by the Planning Commission and one hearing before the City Council. A zone boundary change or reclassification shall require a minimum of one hearing by the Planning Commission, and, if recommended for approval by the Commission, a minimum of one hearing before the Council. A request for a zone boundary change or reclassification that has been recommended for denial by the Planning Commission shall not be considered by the City Council at a public hearing unless:
1. The applicant or an interested party requests an appeal hearing by filing a written request with the Community Development Department; or
2. The request is accompanied by an application for a General Plan Revision.
B. An application for a Variance, Conditional Use Permit, Major Site Plan, Major Development Project, Tentative Parcel Map and Tract Map shall require a minimum of one hearing before the Planning Commission.
C. Multiple applications for the same project shall be processed concurrently, and shall be reviewed, and approved or denied by the highest review authority designated by the Title for any of the applications (i.e., a project for which applications for a Conditional Use Permit and an Amendment are filed shall have both applications decided by the City Council, instead of the Planning Commission acting on the Conditional Use Permit only).
