Louisville City Council Meeting July 5, 2000 Page 5 Sam Light, City Attorney reviewed the Special Review Use criteria, and the procedure that would be observed in conducting the public hearing. He noted that the Special Review Use request and the Final Development Plan will be heard and considered at the same time. He stated that the Special Review Use is to permit a school within an Industrial zoned district. Light reviewed that the Council may approve or deny the application, or may approve the application with conditions or modifications. The City Council also has the authority to return the proposal back to the Planning Commission for further review. Light reviewed that any decision made, must be by a majority of the Council members who vote. Light noted that the proceeding is not a repeal of the Planning Commission's denial, instead it is final action by City Council on the applications. Light noted that the information to be considered in reviewing the applications is not limited to the information presented to the Planning Commission. Instead, the applicant, City Staff, persons supporting or opposing the application, or any other person may present additional testimony. Council's review of this application is a quasi-judicial matter. Light reviewed the general order of the proceeding will be a presentation by City Staff, followed by the applicant's presentation. Council will then take comments from persons who wish to speak for or against the application. Persons wishing to speak must complete a Sign-up card and provide the same card to the City Clerk prior to speaking. Once the testimony is complete the Council will ask questions of the applicant and staff and the applicant may make a closing remark. Rules of evidence do not apply in these proceedings. All testimony and written documents presented will be part of the record of the Council's proceedings. Light requested that the City Council include in the record, all application materials submitted by the applicant, all materials included in the City Council packets, all minutes of the Planning Commissions hearings and discussions on the applications, the City Zoning Ordinances and Map, the Louisville Comprehensive Plan and any other public records in Planning Department files, related to the proposed Special Review Use and PUD for Peak to Peak Charter School.
