Residential for a maximum of two single-family detached residential dwelling units.
1. This is a public hearing. We will hear a presentation from staff. Then the applicant and any

d. Applicant’s rebuttal (up to 5 minutes)

3. Close the public hearing
4. Board discussion
5. Before we proceed with the 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 Denial
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 it provides housing densities
in line with the Community Mixed Use Place Type, I find recommending DENIAL of the rezoning
request is reasonable and in the public interest because of the County’s goal to limit residential
development in flood prone areas, and because of the challenges in developing the site at the
proposed density given the site features desired to be protected.
Alternative Motion for APPROVAL (if based on information presented at the public hearing or
other consideration beyond the scope of staff review, the board finds approval appropriate.)
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 it provides housing densities in line
with the Community Mixed Use Place Type, and I find recommending APPROVAL of the
rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal would benefit
the community by providing more housing options.
Recommended Conditions (if the Board finds approval appropriate.)
1. Both live oak trees on the property will be preserved as part of this development.
2. No accessory dwelling units will be permitted on these lots.
3. There will be one driveway cut for both lots.
Alternative Motion for Approval/Denial:
I move to RECOMMEND [Approval/Denial] of the proposed rezoning to a conditional RMF-M
district. I find it to be [Consistent/Inconsistent] with the purposes and intent of the
Comprehensive Plan because [insert reasons]
