9.8 PROCEDURE

A. Checklists. Anyone desiring to procure a Fountain Green City permit and/or license to operate a residential facility for people with disabilities or the elderly, or a youth home, shall begin the process by completing the Congregate Living Facility Checklist (Appendix A), consulting with the Fountain Green City Recorder when necessary. When the checklist has been reviewed and deemed complete by the City Recorder, the applicant may be placed on the agenda of the next regular meeting of the Planning Commission. B. Planning Commission Recommendation. The Planning Commission will hear the applicant’s proposal, review the checklist, and all required documentation, and determine whether or not it is in harmony with the Fountain Green City General Plan and in compliance with the Fountain Green City Land Use (Zoning) Ordinance and State and City standards for granting a conditional use permit. The Planning Commission shall then make its findings and recommendation to the City Council, including any specific conditions to be placed on the permit, in writing. C. City Council Approval. Once the Planning Commission has forwarded formal written recommendations to the City Council the applicant may be placed on the agenda of a regular City Council meeting. The Council may then approve, modify and approve, or deny the conditional use permit. D. Business License. If the City Council approves a conditional use permit for a congregate living facility the applicant may then supply the necessary documentation and request a business license to operate the facility.
