is not, consistent with the land use plan and why approval or denial of the rezoning request is

Example Motion for Approval
I move to APPROVE 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 APPROVAL of the
rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the project provides
additional housing diversity to the area.
(If conditions are attached include as part of the motion)
Approval is subject to the applicant signing an agreement acknowledging the applicant’s consent
to all listed conditions. If the applicant does not provide a signed agreement within seven (7)
business days from the date of approval, then the rezoning application approval is null and void.
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 DENY 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 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 [Approve/Deny] of the proposed rezoning to a CZD R-10 district. I find it to be
[Consistent/Inconsistent] with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because [insert
reasons]
