This section is established to permit the city council to assume jurisdiction on applications where an exception has been approved and is normally final at a lesser level of authority. This section is intended to be used in those instances where one or more council members finds:

2.

That an action may have the potential for significant impact on the community.

Time Limit. Directed referral action must be exercised within the established time limits for appeals for a particular action or, in the case where no time limit for appeal is specified, within ten working days of the action being referred, but not less than five days of the written notice of exception to the body having directed referral authority.

d.

In directing that an action be referred to the city council, the directive, delivered to the city manager, must specify the basis for the referral.

e.

Action by the City Council on Directed Referrals. Any matter brought before the city council by the directed referral process shall be considered at a noticed public hearing. All alternatives open to the body or person which considered the original application are also open to the city council, which may approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove the item.

f.

Special Provisions. Where an action is appealed and a directed review is called, the directed review procedure shall take precedence and the appeal shall be void.
