A. The uses listed under the various districts herein as special permit uses are so classified because they more intensely dominate the area in which they are located than do other uses permitted in the district; however, the nature of such uses make it desirable that they be permitted to locate therein. The following procedure is established to integrate properly the uses permitted on review with other land uses located in the district. These uses shall be reviewed and authorized or rejected under the following procedure:
1. An application shall be filed with the city planning commission for review. The application shall show the location or intended use of the site, the names of all the property owners and existing land uses within three hundred feet (300') and any other material or information pertinent to the request which the planning commission may require.
2. Notice shall be mailed to neighboring property owners no less than ten (10) days prior to the hearing, and published in a paper of local circulation at least seven (7) days prior to the hearing to consider.
3. The planning commission shall hold one or more hearings thereon.
4. The planning commission shall, within forty five (45) days of the date of application, consider the effect of such proposed use upon the character of the neighborhood, traffic conditions, public utilities, and other matters pertaining to the general welfare. Thereupon they shall approve or deny the application.
5. An application denied shall not be considered further unless the applicant, within fifteen (15) days from the date of the planning commission action, files a written request with the city clerk for a hearing before the city council. Upon notice of such request from the city clerk the planning commission shall forthwith transmit the application and its report to the city council. The city council shall hold a hearing on each such application forwarded to it from the planning commission. All such hearings shall be in compliance with conditions as set forth in this chapter. The council may move to take the application under consideration for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days from the date of the public hearing. After consideration, the council shall approve, deny or return the application to the planning commission for further consideration. (1986 Code)
