The city council is hereby empowered to grant a franchise to any person, whether operating under any existing franchise or not, to lay or use pipes or appurtenances for transmitting and distributing gas for any purpose across or under the public streets, as the same now or may hereafter exist within the city, upon terms as are provided in the applicable provisions of the Charter, and may in such franchise impose other additional terms not in conflict with said Charter or this chapter, whether governmental or contractual in character, as in the judgment of the city council are in the public interest. In determining whether any such terms are in the public interest, the city council shall consider the prevalent industrial uses within the city. (Ord. No. 1008, § 2.)
