Section 2. Section 12.13.110(L)(8) is hereby amended to read
as follows:
12. 13.110 (L) (8) At any time six (6) months after the
granting of a conditional use permit, as provided herein,
residents of the neighborhood may initiate a hearing before
the city council to consider the revocation or modifica-
tion of the permit if they consider the facility to be
deleterious to the neighborhood, a nuisance or inconsistent
with the intent of the zoning classification in the neigh-
borhood. This complaint action shall be initiated by a
petition signed by not less than ten (10) residents
of the neighborhood, no two of which can represent the
same household and shall be accompanied by the payment
of an administrative fee of Ten Dollars ($10.00).
The petition shall explain in detail the condition or
conditions which cause the facility to be considered
deleterious to the neighborhood or a nuisance or incon-
sistent with the intent of the zone in which the facility
is located. The city council shall set a hearing date and
cause notice to be given in accordance with Section 12.16.150
of the Edmonds City Code and to be mailed to the permittee
by certified or registered mail at least ten (10) days
before the hearing to the address of the permittee
contained on the application. At the public hearing
called to hear the complaint, if the city council finds
valid the basis of the complaint that the facility is
a nuisance or deleterious to the neighborhood or incon-
sistent with the intent of the zoning classification
in which said facility is located the city council shall
impose such additional conditions that they deem
necessary to insure compliance with the provisions of
this code. In addition, the city council shall establish
a schedule for review, setting a specific date or dates
at which time the council shall review the matter at a
public meeting to assess the sufficiency of compliance
with any conditions that have been imposed. At the
scheduled review hearing if the city council finds
the applicant has failed to meet the conditions imposed,
it may impose additional conditions or revoke the
conditional use permit.
