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 R-20 Residential zoning
district would provide uses and densities in line with the General Residential place type. I
also find RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the
public interest because the proposed district would allow an increased diversity of housing
options in an area outside of a flood hazard area.
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 R-20 Residential zoning
district would provide uses and densities in line with the General Residential place type. I
find RECOMMENDING DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public
interest because the rezoning would potentially impact the single-family residential
character of the area by allowing an increase in potential density.
Alternative Motion for Approval/Denial:
I move to RECOMMEND [Approval/Denial] of the proposed rezoning to a R-20 district. I find
it to be [Consistent/Inconsistent] with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan
because [insert reasons]
