An amendment to this chapter shall be required as prescribed by section 14.02.034.
(C) 
The planning and zoning commission shall consider the nature and described performance of the proposed use and its compatibility with the uses permitted in the various districts and determine the zoning district or districts within which such use is most similar and should be permitted.
(D)

The city council shall approve or disapprove the recommendation of the planning and zoning commission or make such determination concerning the classification of such use as is determined appropriate based upon its findings. If approved, the new or unlisted use shall be amended in the use charts of the zoning ordinance according to section 14.02.034 (i.e., following notification and public hearing, etc.).
(E) 
Standards for new and unlisted uses may be interpreted by the city manager, or his/her designee, as those of a similar use.
