(1) The ordinance and standards used in evaluating the application;
(2) The reasons, facts and findings for approval or denial; and
(3) The actions, if any, that the applicant could take to obtain a permit.
(D) In the event the Council shall approve an amendment, such amendment shall thereafter be made a part of this chapter upon the preparation and passage of an ordinance.
