Public hearings on the granting of conditional use permits shall be held in the manner provided in section 462.357, subdivision 3.

Subd. 3.Duration.

Subd. 4.Recording of permit.

A certified copy of any conditional use permit shall be recorded with the county recorder or registrar of titles of the county or counties in which the municipality is located for record. The conditional use permit shall include the legal description of the property included.
