In conjunction with §10-9a-509 of Utah State Code (as amended), an applicant is entitled to approval of a land use application if the application conforms to the requirements of the City's zoning map and applicable land use ordinance in effect when a complete application is submitted and all fees have been paid, unless:
2. the governing body, on the record, finds that a compelling, countervailing public interest would be jeopardized by approving the application; or
3. in the manner provided by local ordinance and before the application is submitted, the municipality has formally initiated proceedings to amend its ordinances in a manner that would prohibit approval of the application as submitted.
4. The City shall process an application without regard to proceedings initiated to amend the municipality's ordinances if:
5. 180 days have passed since the proceedings were initiated: and
6. The proceedings have not resulted in an enactment that prohibits the approval of the application as submitted.
7. An application for a land-use approval is considered submitted and complete when the application is provided in a form that complies with the requirements of applicable ordinances and all applicable fees have been paid.
