(a) An application requiring Conditional Use review shall be accompanied by a report by development staff setting forth proposed findings concerning the application’s compliance with Section 1131.04(g) and other requirements of this UDO, as well as any staff recommendations for additional requirements to be imposed. If the Development Staff report proposes a finding or conclusion, it shall identify the UDO requirement in question and specifically state supporting reasons for the proposed findings or conclusions.
(b) After initial review of any application, the Planning Commission, where appropriate, may refer an application to qualified consultants for a report or special study when the effects of a proposed land use on adjacent premises, the area, or the community are not readily known, or if it deems the proposed use may cause the emission of dangerous or objectionable elements. The Commission may seek expert advice on what conditions should be imposed on the particular operation to reasonably modify any injurious or offensive effects likely to result from such an operation. The cost of such report shall be at the expense of the applicant and the report shall be furnished to the Planning Commission as soon as it is practicable.
