If approval has been recommended, the City Council will be required to
hold a public hearing on this matter. Although there is a 10 day appeal
period, we suggest that the matter be set for the earliest possible City
Council meeting, because the purpose of any appeal is to have a hearing
before the City Council and this is already being accomplished. We
further suggest that you not accept any appeal, as it will serve no purpose.
If approval has been recommended other than as requested, the City Council
will be required to hold a public hearing on this matter. However, there
is a possibility that the Planning Commission's decision will be appealed;
therefore, we suggest that publication be held off until the 10 day
appeal period has expired.
If denial has been recommended, the City Council may summarily deny the
request. However, we suggest that the matter not be scheduled on the
City Council agenda until the 10 day appeal period has expired.
