In addition to any appeal procedures otherwise established by law, the city council may cause any decision of the planning commission to be heard de novo by the city council by a majority vote conducted at the meeting at which the decision is reported. In the event the council does not so vote, the decision of the planning commission shall be final.

  • C. All provisions for notice and hearing applicable to the planning commission for that type of decision shall apply to the city council in conducting its review; provided, however, that if an appeal from a

decision has been properly filed, the matter shall be conducted as an appeal subject to all applicable requirements for such appeals, rather than a review subject to this section. (Ord. 237 § 2, 1994)
