§ 17.48.5. City Council decision.

The City Council shall consider the recommendation of Planning Commission at a public hearing noticed in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 17.42 of this title. The City Council shall, after the public hearings, approve, modify or reject the proposed amendment. If the City Council proposes to substantially modify the proposal and the substantial modification was not previously considered by the Commission, the City Council shall refer it to the Commission for a report before adoption of an ordinance amending the zoning regulations or map. If the Planning Commission fails to report within forty (40) days after referral or such longer period as the City Council designates, this failure is considered a vote for approval of the modification by the Commission. Before adoption of an ordinance, the City Council shall make findings that the proposed regulation or map amendment is consistent with the policies of the general plan and the notice and hearing provisions of this title.
