"Meeting of the planning and zoning board. The planning and zoning board shall conduct a public hearing in which they discuss the DRC report and the project proposal, prior to making a recommendation concerning the project to the city commission. If the planning and zoning board determines that the proposed use is in compliance with general standards of review, use regulations, and development standards of this Code, then they shall recommend approval of the special exception to the city commission, with or without conditions, as determined appropriate. If the planning and zoning board finds that the proposed special exception is not in compliance, they shall recommend denial of the application. The planning and zoning board may continue the matter until any additional information or studies requested have been completed and offered in testimony."
