a property owner or by a lessee with the consent of the owner, the
planning commission shall give seven days notice to the residents
and owners of all properties which are immediately adjacent and opposite

at a public hearing the granting of the use permit. Upon filing of
an application for use permit the planning director shall give notice
by mail of the time, place and purpose thereof to the applicant as
well as to the public in general. Within twenty days following the
termination of the public hearing on a use permit the planning commission
shall announce its findings by formal report, and such report shall
recite among other things the facts and reasons which, in its opinion,
made the granting or denial of the use permit necessary to carry out
the provisions and general purpose of these regulations, and shall
order that the use permit be granted or denied, and if such report
orders that the use permit be granted it shall also recite such conditions
and limitations as it may impose. The formal report of the planning
commission announcing its findings and orders after a hearing on and
application for use permit shall become a permanent record in the
files of the planning commission. No later than ten days following
