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 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 APPROVE the proposed rezoning to a Conditional Community Business, CB district. I
find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the
proposed uses are in line with the recommendations of the Community Mixed use Place Type.
I also find APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because
the development would act as a community service business node to serve both the Seabreeze
Community and the surrounding area.
Proposed Conditions:
1. The proposed rezoning’s principal use shall be limited to: General Retail Sales, Animal
Grooming Service, General Personal Services, Instructional Services & Studios, and Offices
for Private Business & Professional Activities.
2. Transitional buffers meeting the requirements of a Type A: Opaque Buffer are required along all
property lines adjacent to residentially zoned parcels.
3. Exterior lighting, including luminaries and security lights, shall be fully cutoff fixtures that
are directed downward in compliance with Figures of the UDO. In no case shall lighting be
directed at or above a horizontal plane through the lighting fixture.
4. The proposed development will have an architectural design requiring the structure to be
double-fronted. While the wall facing the parking lot will be the front of the structure, the
wall facing S. Seabreeze Road will be designed to have an appearance similar to that of
the storefront.
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 uses are inline with the
recommendations of the Community Mixed Use Place Type, I find DENIAL of the rezoning
request would possibly expand the commercial node closer to the existing single-family
residential developments and does not provide substantial enough transition to limit impacts on
the surrounding area.
Alternative Motion for Approval/Denial:
I move to [Approve/Deny] of the proposed rezoning to a CZD CB district. I find it to be
[Consistent/Inconsistent] with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because [insert
reasons]
