(a) Submission to City Planner and City Engineer. Upon receipt of a sketch development plan with supporting data for the development of a shopping center, the Secretary of the Planning Commission shall transmit a copy to the City Planner and City Engineer for their review, report and recommendation. The Planner and/or the Engineer shall, within thirty days from the date of receiving a sketch development plan and supporting data, provide and furnish to the Planning Commission his, her or their report.
(b) Report to Council. Within sixty days after a sketch development plan has been filed with the Secretary of the Planning Commission, the Commission shall evaluate the plan and the report of the City Planner and/or Engineer and shall furnish to Council its detailed report and recommendations with respect thereto. The report of the Planning Commission shall include either a finding that the sketch development plan and supporting data comply with the regulations, standards and criteria that are prescribed by this Zoning Code for planned shopping centers and that are applicable to the proposal, or a finding of any failure of such compliance. Such report shall further include the Commission's action as to whether the sketch development plan is approved, disapproved or modified. If in any such evaluation the Planning Commission finds that any regulations, standards or criteria prescribed by this Zoning Code are inapplicable because of unusual conditions related to the shopping center or the nature and quality of the proposed design, the Commission may recommend to Council that an adjustment in such regulations, standards or criteria be made, provided that such adjustment will not be in conflict with the promotion of the public health, safety and general welfare of the City.
(c) Action by Council. Council, at no later than its next regular meeting following receipt of the Planning Commission report, shall set a date for a public hearing on the shopping center proposal in accordance with the provisions of Section 1266.04.
Following the completion of such public hearing, Council shall then proceed to act upon the sketch development plan.
