A. Public Hearing: Upon the application for a special use permit and prior to the council granting a special use permit, the commission shall hold at least one public hearing in which interested persons shall have an opportunity to be heard. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the commission hearing thereon, notice of the time and place, and a summary of the proposal shall be published in the official newspaper or paper of general circulation within the city and the impact area. Notice may also be made available to other newspapers, radio and television stations serving the city and impact area for use as a public service announcement. Notice shall also be provided to property owners and residents within three hundred feet (300') of the external boundaries of the land being considered, and within any additional area that may be substantially impacted by the proposed special use as determined by the commission. When notice is required to two hundred (200) or more property owners or residents, alternate forms of procedures which would provide adequate notice may be provided by local ordinance in lieu of mailed notice.
B. Conditions: Prior to granting of a special use permit, the commission may recommend to the council and the council may attach conditions to a special use permit including, but not limited to:
1. Minimizing adverse impact on other development.
2. Controlling the sequence and timing of development.
3. Controlling the duration of development.

C. Further Studies; Other Conditions: Prior to granting a special use permit, council may require the commission to perform studies of the social, economic, fiscal and environmental effects of the proposed special use. A special use permit shall not be considered as establishing a binding precedent to grant other special permits. A special use permit is not transferable from one parcel of land to another. In the case of a use existing prior to the effective date of this chapter which is classified in this chapter as a special or conditional use, any change in use or in lot area or any alteration of the structure shall conform with the requirements dealing with special or conditional uses herein.
