A. The Planning Commission shall review the plan and proposed documents to determine compliance with all portions of the City’s master plan. In considering such plan, the Planning Commission, among other things, shall make sure that such developments shall constitute a residential environment of sustained desirability and stability and that it will not adversely affect amenities in the surrounding area. The Planning Commission may require changes to be made in the plan. They may also require additional yards or buffers or other improvements to be installed along with greater amounts of landscaping or parking spaces. Such changes may be imposed as conditions of approval where it is determined by the City Council that such changes are necessary to ensure that the development will mix harmoniously with adjoining or nearby uses.

B. Application for approval of a mobile home park shall be granted or denied only after recommendation by the Planning Commission and after a public hearing has been held by the City Council. Notice of the hearing shall be given in a newspaper of general circulation at least five days prior to such hearing. An application denied by the Planning Commission may be appealed to the City Council. Such appeal must be made in writing within ten days after the denial has been made by the Planning Commission. Approval of the preliminary plan shall be valid for a period of one year. (Prior code § 24-3(B)(3)(c))
