The development plan shall be referred to the city planning commission for study, public hearing, and report. The commission’s recommendations and report together with the plans shall be submitted to the city council within thirty (30) days for consideration and action.
The recommendations and report by the planning commission shall contain specific evidence and facts showing whether or not the proposed project meets the following conditions:
1. The property adjacent to the area included in the plan will not be adversely affected.
2. The plan is consistent with the intent and purposes of this ordinance to promote public health, safety, morals, and general welfare.
