A. The Planning Commission shall render a decision, which shall be confirmed in writing, on an adult use development permit application within sixty days of receiving a completed application if no traffic study is needed. The Planning Commission shall render such decision after a duly noticed public hearing has been held. The failure of the Planning Commission to render such a decision within this time frame shall constitute a denial of the permit application.
B. Notice of hearing on the adult use development permit application for an adult business shall be provided pursuant to this code Section 15.76.060 and pursuant to the requirements of Section 65901 of the California Government Code.
C. The permit applicant has the burden to supply evidence to justify the granting of the adult use development permit for an adult business. The Planning Commission shall not be bound by the formal rules of evidence. The Planning Commission shall grant, conditionally grant, or deny an adult use development permit application. Only conditions commensurate with the objective development standards of this chapter and the underlying district or zone in which the property is located may be imposed by the Planning Commission on the permit. The Planning Commission's decision shall be in writing, shall identify the findings upon which its decision is based, and shall be mailed to the permit applicant and to the property owner via first class mail.
