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 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 uses are in line
with the place type recommendations. I also find recommending APPROVAL of the rezoning
request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposed district would provide
a number of commercial services for nearby residents, includes relatively low traffic
generators, and is located on an arterial road.
Proposed Conditions:
1. Within the 3,600 SF building at the front of the property closest to N College Road, uses are
limited to the following: business service center, contractor office, offices for private business
and professional activities, personal services, general, instructional services & studios, and
retail sales, general.
2. Within the remaining 4 buildings totaling 33,300 SF uses will be limited to offices for private
business and professional activities and for contractor offices.
3. Building height will be limited to 1-story and a maximum of 30’.
Alternative 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 the proposed limited
commercial uses are generally encouraged in the Community Mixed Use and General
Residential place types and would serve nearby existing and future residential developments
I find recommending DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest
because the proposed project would have a larger impact on the adjacent residential
properties than what is allowed under current zoning.
Alternative Motion for Approval/Denial:
I move to RECOMMEND [Approval/Denial] of the proposed rezoning to a (CZD) B-2 district.
I find it to be [Consistent/Inconsistent] with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive
Plan because [insert reasons]

I also find RECOMMENDING [Approval/Denial] of the rezoning request is reasonable and in
the public interest because [insert reasons]
