The city council shall consider the planning commission’s recommendation on the comprehensive plan amendments and make a decision to either adopt or deny each amendment application. If the council makes no changes to the planning commission’s recommendation, the council may act on the amendments during a regular city council meeting. If the council makes any changes to the planning commission’s recommendation, the council may be required to hold a public hearing, pursuant to RCW 36.70A.035(2). The city council shall not consider changes to private-party amendment applications after the planning commission’s recommendation unless the changes are recommended by the planning commission or requested by the city council.
