1126.08 PLANNING AND ZONING CODE 54B (c) Authority of Commission to Change Proposal. If the Planning and Design Commission determines that a proposal will have a significant adverse impact upon either residential, commercial or other neighbors, vehicular or pedestrian safety, or aesthetically upon the community, it shall make such changes, and only such changes, in the proposal which will, if practicable, eliminate the significant adverse impact, and, if such a change is not practicable, then such changes which will ameliorate the adverse impact to the fullest extent practicable. d) (1) In making its determinations and proposed changes pursuant to this section, the Planning and Design Commission may: A. Refer the matter to any City official, City department, City board or commission whose advise and recommendation may, in the opinion of the Commission, assist in fulfilling its duties herein. B. Determine the development proposal warrants the input and advice of an expert planning or traffic consultant and specifically require the applicant to either produce such a report, at its own costs, or to otherwise recommend that the City retain such consultation services by agreement with the applicant on the terms and the costs thereof; provided, however, that a developer shall not be required to produce a planning report or to pay for a planning consultant retained by the City unless it is impracticable for the office of the Director of Planning to provide such planning service to the Commission due to time constraints in her office, the size or complexity of the development proposal or the expert planning services determined by the Commission to be warranted, or for other similar good cause recommended by the Director of Planning. (2) In making its determinations and proposed changes pursuant to this section, the Planning and Design Commission shall: A. Review the recommendations, reports or comments issued by the Director of Planning, Building Official, and any other City official, department, board, or commission to which the proposal was referred. B. Receive and consider complaints, comments and recommendations from the public. C. Receive and consider reports or recommendations provided by the applicant's experts. (e) Time for Review. The Planning and Design Commission shall, within sixty days of its first review of a proposal, make its determinations and changes, if any are required, unless this period of time is extended, either with the consent of the applicant, because of delay attributable to the applicant, or due to application to the Building and Zoning Board of Appeals.
