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 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 for efficient land use and a variety of housing types for an age restricted community.
Existing Conditions to Remain in Effect with the 44 single-family townhome parcel:
1. The project will be age-restricted based on state and federal Fair Housing requirements
for projects for individuals aged 55 and above.
2. An additional sidewalk will be provided between the project and Porter's Neck
Elementary School.
3. The storm water management system will be designed for a 100-year storm event.
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 uses are in
line with the place type recommendations, I find RECOMMENDING DENIAL of the rezoning
request is not reasonable and in the public interest because the land use will adversely impact
the adjacent residential areas.
Alternative Motion for Approval/Denial:
I move to RECOMMEND [Approval/Denial] of the proposed rezoning to a (CZD) R-5 district.
I find it to be [Consistent/Inconsistent] with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive
Plan because [insert reasons]
