A. Upon receipt of a complete application for a PUD, the zoning administrator shall schedule a public hearing date before the commission following the established meeting schedule. Notice of the public hearing shall be in accordance with PMC 17.80.030.

B. Before the commission may act on the PUD application, the commission shall review the preliminary plan to determine if it is consistent with the intent and purposes of this chapter; whether the proposed development advances the general welfare of the community and neighborhood; and whether the benefits, combination of various land uses, and the interrelationship with the land uses in the surrounding area justify the deviation from standard district regulations.

C. Within 30 days following the conclusion of the public hearing, and upon making the required findings for a zone change and in conformance with subsection (B) of this section, the commission shall make a written report to the council for approval or modification of the proposed PUD zone change, and shall recommend that the council approve a change from preliminary site plan to interim site plan as submitted or as modified.

D. If unable to make the required finding to support approval, the commission shall deny both the rezoning and the preliminary site plan and no further action shall be taken thereon unless the initiating party or property owner within 20 days of the commission decision files a written statement with the city clerk requesting the PUD be considered by city council.
