A. The assembly shall either affirm or reverse the decision of the commission in whole or in part. If the assembly fails to approve the reversal of the commission’s decision, that decision is affirmed. Where the assembly decides that a finding of fact by the commission is not supported by substantial evidence, it shall make its own finding on the factual issue based upon the evidence in the record.

B. Every decision of the assembly to affirm or reverse an action of the commission shall be based upon findings and conclusions adopted by the assembly. Such findings must be reasonably specific so as to provide the community and, where appropriate, reviewing authorities a clear and precise understanding of the reason for the decision.

C. The assembly’s decision affirming or reversing the decision of the commission shall be mailed to the parties to the appeal within 10 working days after the appeal decision and approval of findings of fact. [Ord. 90-15 §2, 1990].
