for Zoning Map Amendment Application (Z24-19)
Request by Cindee Wolf with Design Solutions, applicant, on behalf of Harry Wilson with H N
Investments, LLC to rezone approximately 5.17 acres located at 308 Hermitage Road from the (CZD) CS,
Conditional Commercial Services District to a new (CZD) CS District for the use of Wholesale Nursery and
a limited list of prohibited uses.
1. This is a public hearing. We will hear a presentation from staff. Then the applicant and any
opponents will each be allowed 15 minutes for their presentation and an additional 5
minutes for rebuttal.
2. Conduct Hearing, as follows:
a. Staff presentation
b. Applicant’s and supporters’ presentation (up to 15 minutes)
c. Opponent’s presentation (up to 15 minutes)
d. Applicant’s and supporters’ rebuttal (up to 5 minutes)
e. Opponent’s rebuttal (up to 5 minutes)
f. Staff review of any additional conditions
3. Close the public hearing
4. Board discussion
5. Before we proceed with a motion and 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, 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 DENIAL the proposed rezoning. While I find it to be generally
CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the project
allows the types of commercial uses encouraged in the Employment Center place type. I find
recommending DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest
because the project may impact the future development of an approved commercial
business park.
Alternative Motion for Approval (If based on information presented at the public hearing or
other consideration beyond the scope of staff review, the board finds approval appropriate.)
I move to recommend APPROVAL of the proposed rezoning. I find it to be generally
CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the project
allows the types of commercial uses encouraged in the Employment Center place type. I find
recommending APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest
because the rezoning allows the relocation of an existing business that would support the
area’s transition into a service node.
Proposed Conditions:
1. All uses in the CS district are permitted except for the following uses and use categories
listed in Table 4.2.1 Principal Use Table:
o Civic
o Educational Services
o Government Services

o Food & Drink (including Bar / Nightclub)
o Convenience Store

Plan because [insert reasons]
