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 mix of uses is in line with the
recommendations of the Urban Mixed Use place type. I also find 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.
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 mix of uses is in line with the
recommendations of the Urban Mixed Use place type. I find 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 [Approve/Deny] of the proposed rezoning to a conditional B-2 district. I find it to be
[Consistent/Inconsistent] with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because [insert
reasons]
