The applicant shall refer the question of any new or unlisted use to the planning and zoning commission requesting an interpretation as to the zoning classification into which such use may be placed. Such request shall be accompanied by a statement of facts listing the nature of the use and whether it involves dwelling activity, sales, processing, type of product, storage and amount or nature thereof, enclosed or open storage, anticipated employment, transportation requirements, the amount of noise, odor, fumes, toxic material and vibration likely to be generated and the general requirements for public utilities and sanitation collection.

The planning and zoning commission shall then consider the nature and described performance of the proposed use and its compatibility with the uses permitted in the various districts, and after public hearing, determine the zoning district or districts within which such use should be permitted.

Following its decision, the planning and zoning commission shall submit its recommendation to the city council for final approval.

The same procedures should be followed as outlined in Section 23 pertaining to amendments, including the public notice and hearing requirements, when considering any zoning classification request for a new or unlisted land use.
