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 mix of uses is in line
with the recommendations of the Urban Mixed Use place type. I also find recommending
APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the project
would act as an appropriate transition between the highway and existing residential
development.
Applicant Proposed Conditions:
1. Street yard landscaping will be installed along Carolina Beach Road to meet current
Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) landscape requirements for commercial
projects.
2. Any freestanding sign(s) on the site shall be monument-style with landscaping around
the base of the sign. No pole signs shall be permitted.
3. Exterior lighting including luminaries and security lighting shall be full cut-off fixtures
that are directed downward in compliance with Figure 5.5.4.C Full Cut-off Fixtures of
the UDO. In no case shall lighting be directed at or above a horizontal plane through
the lighting fixture. Light posts shall be no taller than twelve (12) feet.
4. Permitted uses are limited to:
• Medical and Dental Office and Clinic
• Bank and / or Financial Institution
• Business Service Center
• Offices for Private Business and Professional Activities
• Instructional Services and Studios
• Personal Services (no tattoo parlors)
5. Significant trees identified on the concept plan shall be permanently retained.
6. A six-foot-tall solid wood privacy fence shall be installed along the northern and
eastern sides of the project as depicted on the concept plan.
7. A minimum 20 foot wide public access easement shall be provided along the frontage
parallel with Carolina Beach Road for public bicycle and pedestrian use.
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 DENAL of the proposed rezoning. While I find it to be CONSISTENT
with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed mix of uses is
in line with the recommendations of the Urban Mixed Use place type. I find recommending
DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the project
does not provide adequate transition to neighboring residential development.
Alternative Motion for Approval/Denial:
I move to RECOMMEND [Approval/Denial] of the proposed rezoning to a (CZD) O&I district.
I find it to be [Consistent/Inconsistent] with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan
because [insert reasons]
