Planning Commission recommended approval on March 12, 1974. Jim Saul, ,planner, explained that at present Code provided for submission of written findings within five days of hearing date without specifying whether calendar or work- ing days. Problems have ,been encountered when applicants request findings within five calendar days if holidays or weekends intervene. - " -'J. ':--'= With regard to refiling of applications for conditional use permits, Mr. Saul explained some experience with denial of conditional use permit only a month or so after a previous denial of the same use. He noted a limit of one year for refiling of applications on rezoning, planned unit procedures, etc., and said a like provision covering conditional use applications would relieve an unnecessary burden on both the public and city staff. It was noted that the amendment provided for exemption of applications on file at this time. Public hearing was opened. Gordon Elliott, 1287 Irvington Drive, objected to the one-year limit on refiling. He felt it too long a time. Smaller properties were involved, he said, with limited financing. He suggested a shorter period of time before refiling the second request, with the one-year limit more appropriate for a third request. Manager noted that Fasano regulations applied to conditional use permits as well as to zone changes and required complete testimony if the hearings official was to have legal basis for his decision. He thought Mr. Elliott's suggestions might have been more appropriate under previous less formal proceedings. 1581 Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony. ~.: Council Bill No. 497 - Amending Section 9.706(2) of the City Code to allow 10 days for submission of written findings by Hearings Official; and amending Section 9.721 of the City Code to provide for elapse of one year before refiling of an identical or substantially'identical request for conditional use permit in event of a denied application was read by council bill number and title only, there being no councilman present requesting that it be read in full.
