The City Council shall act on every request for a special use permit at their next regularly scheduled meeting following submission of the Zoning Board of Appeals’ advisory report. Without further public hearing, the Council may grant a special use permit by an ordinance passed by simple majority vote of all members. The City Council may affirm, reverse, or modify, in whole or in part, any determination of the Zoning Board of Appeals. Such action shall be taken within 30 days from receipt of said advisory report. An affirmative vote of two-thirds of the City Council shall be required to reverse or modify any recommendation in the Zoning Board of Appeals’ report. In a separate statement accompanying any such ordinance, the Council shall state their findings of fact, and indicate their reasons for approving, with or without conditions, or denying the request for a special use permit.
