A. The commission shall either affirm or reverse the decision of the community development department director in whole or in part. If the commission fails to approve the reversal of the community development department director’s decision, that decision is affirmed.

B. Every decision of the commission to affirm or reverse an action of the community development department director shall be based upon findings and conclusions adopted by the commission. 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 commission’s decision affirming or reversing the decision of the community development department director shall be mailed to the parties to the appeal within five working days after the appeal decision and approval of findings of fact. [Ord. 90-44 §5, 1991. Formerly §17.90.050].
