the item. A vote of less than a majority of the commissioners present to approve
or a tie vote is considered a denial. On an appeal, the planning commission
must, at a public meeting, decide whether to affirm, reverse or modify only
those items raised in the appeal, following receipt of the report and recommendation
of the director and upon consideration fo the proceedings below. The planning
commission may attach any reasonably necessary conditions when approving a permit
that was denied by the director or the final decision-maker. If a public hearing
is required by this title prior to decision, the hearing shall be conducted
in the manner provided in chapter 20.20. The public hearing shall be held within
the time established by law. The director shall notify the applicant of the
