In addition, CMC 9173.4(C)(3) states that unless the item is referred back to the Planning Commission, the City Council’s decision shall be supported by written findings. Per CMC 9173.4(D), the Council shall, within sixty (60) days of the filing of the appeal, act to either affirm, reverse, modify, continue, or refer the matter back. Staff believes the appeal has merit for the reasons discussed below, and therefore recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed resolution to modify the Planning Commission Decision based on the appeal pursuant to CMC 9173.4(C)(2)(b).
