Once a permit approval has been elevated for review (see WMC 16.12.040), the following procedures apply:

A. Public Notice. If the planner’s approval is elevated the planner shall:

1. Place the application on the agenda of the next available meeting of the commission;

2. Publish the agenda item in a newspaper of general circulation or place a public service announcement on radio or television. The published notice must set out the time, date and place of the hearing, the name of the applicant, the address or general location of the property and subject or nature of the action;

3. Within five days of elevation issue a public hearing notice;

4. Mail or electronically transfer a copy of the public hearing notice to the applicant, the commission members, the neighborhood association if the neighborhood has an approved neighborhood plan and to appropriate reviewing parties;

5. The public hearing notice shall be sent to the owners of property, as listed on the Matanuska-Susitna Borough property tax rolls, located within a minimum of 1,200 feet of the lot lines of the development. The public notice shall be posted in city hall and on the site. Staff will allow a minimum of 10 days (14 calendar days) from the date of public notice mailing before scheduling a public hearing on the request before the planning commission.

B. Decision. The commission shall review the planner’s draft recommendation, and may hear comment(s) from reviewing parties, the applicant and the public. The commission shall decide either to deny, approve or approve with conditions, or the commission may with concurrence of the applicant return the approval to the planner for further review as a new use permit application.
