(2) The hearing by the Planning Commission as provided for by Section 13.80.230 shall constitute the hearing by the council. Council review shall be limited to review of the petition, minutes, staff report, and any written testimony submitted at the hearing before the Planning Commission unless the council decides at the public meeting to schedule its own public hearing. Any interested party may comment on the commission's recommendations, and/or findings of fact, and such shall become a part of the record before the council. At its discretion, the council may request information from any staff member or party for the purpose of clarification at the meeting.

(3) If, after considering the matter at a public meeting, the council decides that an additional public hearing is required, a public hearing shall be set.

(6) The council, after adopting findings of fact, shall by resolution approve or disapprove or approve subject to conditions or modifications the alteration, vacation, or replat. If the council finds that the proposed alteration, vacation, or replat makes appropriate provisions as required by the provisions of 13.80.240(2)(b) and that the public use and interest as required by 13.80.240(2) (c) will be served, then the council shall approve the proposed alteration, vacation, or replat. The resolution shall include the findings of fact and a short summary of the evidence supporting those findings and shall be filed with the finance director as a public record.
