5. Before we proceed with a motion and vote, I would like to invite the applicant to the podium.
Based on the Board discussion and items presented during the public hearing, would you like
withdraw your petition, request a continuance, or proceed with a vote?
6. Vote on the application. The motion should include a statement saying how the change is, or
is not, consistent with the land use plan and why approval or denial of the rezoning request is
reasonable and in the public interest.
Example Motion for Approval
I move to recommend APPROVAL of the proposed rezoning. I find it to be CONSISTENT with
the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed density and housing
type is within the recommendations of the General Residential place type. I also find
recommending APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest
because the project provides additional housing diversity to the area.
Alternative Motion for DENIAL (if based on information presented at the public hearing or other
consideration beyond the scope of staff review, the board finds denial appropriate.)
I move to recommend DENIAL of the proposed rezoning. While I find it to be CONSISTENT
with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed density and
housing type are in line with the recommendations of the General Residential place type. I find
recommending DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because
the project’s housing type does not match existing neighborhood development patterns in the
area.
Alternative Motion for Approval/Denial:
I move to RECOMMEND [Approval/Denial] of the proposed rezoning to a (CZD) RMF-L district.
I find it to be [Consistent/Inconsistent] with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan
because [insert reasons]
