Code Amendment - Hearings Official Procedure )imending- Code ie:HeaIIngs-Official-~Planni.ng--cominission November -ii, 1972re-corr,::-- ,mended approval of amendment to ci ty Code whi ch (1) establishes a posi tion. of :Hearings Official; (2) establishes procedures whereby the Hearings Official con- :ducts hearings and approves or denies conditional use permit requests; (3) estab- :lishes appeal procedures from the decision of the Hearings Official; and (4) changes portions of the Land Use Section of the Code to accommodate the position of Hearings: ,Official. Background material wi th regard to the recommendation was previOUSly ~distributed to Council members. Under the proposed procedure Hearings Official rather than the Planning COnmUssion would consider conditional use permit requests.

Appeals from his decisions would be made to the Planning comndssion rather than to the City Council, thence directly to the courts. Funds have been budgeted for the position. ....
