2. If there are 11% to 50% of existing structures with roof pitch, which meet or exhibit the same roof pitch of the proposed qualified manufactured home see division (D)(2)(g) below.
3. If there are 51% to 100% of existing structures with roof pitch which meet or exhibit the same roof pitch of the proposed qualified manufactured home, the proposed placement is compatible and the percent of elevation of structure should be considered.
(f) Percent of elevation of structure.
1. If there are 0% to 10% of existing structures with elevation, which meet or exhibit the same elevation of the proposed qualified manufactured home, the proposed placement is incompatible.
2. If there are 11 % to 50% of existing structures with elevation, which meet or exhibit the same elevation of the proposed qualified manufactured home see division (D)(2)(g).

1. Grant approval, which means the developer may proceed with the project;
2. Postpone action, which means action is delayed for reasons which shall be noted by the Commission; or

In its discretion and for good cause, the Planning Commission may extend for one or more additional years the period for the initiation of construction of the establishment of a use.
(6) Amendment or withdrawal of special use permit. Pursuant to the same procedure and subject to the same limitations and requirements by which the special use permit was approved and registered, any special use permit may be amended or withdrawn, either partially or completely, if all the conditions and limitations of the special use permit and all land and structures withdrawn from the special use permit comply with all regulations established by this chapter and unrelated to the special use permit.
(7) Waivers. An applicant citing the design or other exceptional characteristics of the proposed development may request the Planning Commission to waive certain requirements for special use permit.
