(a) The City will undertake a review of an Application pursuant to this Chapter in a timely fashion, and shall act within a reasonable period of time given the relative complexity of the Application and the circumstances, with due regard for the public's interest and need to be involved, and the Applicant's desire for a timely resolution.
(b) The City may refer any Application or part thereof to any advisory or other committee for a non-binding recommendation.
(c) After the public hearing and after formally considering the Application, the City may approve, approve with conditions, or deny a Conditional Use Permit. Its decision shall be in writing and shall be supported by substantial evidence contained in a written record. The burden of proof for the grant of the permit shall always be upon the Applicant.
(d) If the City approves the Conditional Use Permit for Wireless Telecommunications Facilities, then the Applicant shall be notified of such approval in writing within ten (10) calendar days of the City's action, and the Conditional Use Permit shall be issued within thirty (30) days after such approval. The City may, at its option, require a development plan to be submitted by the applicant for review by the City in accordance with Chapter 1220 of this Code. Such development plan can be reviewed and acted upon concurrently with applicant's request for its Conditional Use Permit. An applicant for a co-location on an existing tower, with no proposed change to the height of the pole and when the existing development plan provides for such expansion, is exempted from filing an additional development plan.
(e) If the City denies the Conditional Use Permit for Wireless Telecommunications Facilities, then the Applicant shall be notified of such denial in writing within ten (10) calendar days of the City's action.
