The planner may elevate any use permit decision to the planning commission at any time between the acceptance of the application and the close of the decision period. The elevation must be based on a written finding that the permit decision satisfies one or more of the following criteria:

C. The proposed use could conflict with adopted city policies or raises a particular issue or set of issues in a manner or to a degree that warrants consideration by the commission;
