The planning commission shall hear and make determinations on requests for the inclusion as permitted uses in O-A, C-C and A-P districts of uses not specifically listed in the regulations for these districts.

(Ord. 1967-80 § 1 (6917), 1967)

A written request for such a determination shall be filed with the secretary of the planning commission, which shall include a detailed

description of the proposed use, and such other information as may be required.

(Ord. 1967-80 § 1 (6917.1), 1967)

The planning commission shall thereupon make or have made such investigations as are deemed necessary to compare the nature and characteristics of the proposed use with those of uses specifically listed in this title, and to make a determination of its classification.

(Ord. 1967-80 § 1 (6917.2), 1967)

The determination of the planning commission shall be rendered in writing within a reasonable time, but not to exceed sixty days, unless extended with the consent of the applicant, and shall state whether or not the proposed use will be permitted in the district and shall include the findings which establish that such use is or is not in all essentials of the same character as a use listed as permitted in that district. The planning commission shall not authorize the establishment of any use in a district unless it finds that its inclusion will not be detrimental to the general welfare or injurious to other uses therein permitted. Upon decision by the planning commission, the secretary of the planning commission shall forthwith notify the applicant.

(Ord. 1967-80 § 1 (6917.3), 1967)

The determination and all information pertaining thereto shall become a permanent public record. No such determination shall become effective until ten days have elapsed from the date upon which it is rendered. If no appeal is filed, such use shall thereafter become a permitted use in the district and shall have the same status as a permitted use specifically named in the regulations for that class of district.

(Ord. 1967-80 § 1 (6917.4), 1967)

Where it is alleged that the planning commission is in error in its decision or that necessary information has not been fully presented, appeals may be taken to the council in accordance with procedures set forth in Sections 18.78.010 through 18.78.110.

(Ord. 1967-80 § 1 (6917.5), 1967)
