§ 20-231. Application, public hearing, notice and procedure.

(a)

The application, public hearing, public notice and procedure requirements for conditional use permits shall be the same as those for amendments as provided in article II, division 2, except that the permit shall be issued on the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire council. Although specific submissions required to complete an application for a conditional use permit may vary with the specific use and the district in which it is located, all applications for such permits must include at minimum a site plan that clearly illustrates the following: Proposed land use building mapping and functions, circulation and parking areas, planting areas and treatment, sign locations and type, basic lighting concerns, the relationship of the proposed project to neighboring uses, environmental impacts and demand for municipal services.

(b)

Prior to filing an application for a conditional use, the applicant shall attend a conference with city staff. The primary purpose of the conference shall be to provide the applicant with an opportunity to gather information and obtain guidance on the general merits of the proposal and its conformity to the provisions of the comprehensive plan and the City Code before incurring substantial expense.
