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 APPROVE the proposed rezoning to a (CZD) R-5 District. 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 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.
Proposed Conditions:
1. An additional sidewalk will be provided between the townhome portion of the
project and Porter's Neck Elementary School.
2. The storm water management system will be designed for a 100-year storm event.
3. Both the detached and attached single-family portions project will be age-restricted
based on state and federal Fair Housing requirements for projects for individuals
aged 55 and above.
4. A 20-foot-wide public access easement with ADA accessible sidewalk will be installed
along the project fronting Edgewater Club Road. The sidewalk must be installed or
bonded as part of the construction of the subdivision and the public access easement
must be platted and dedicated with the recordation of the first plat associated with
the development.
5. A 6-foot-tall wood privacy fence running south along Edgewater Club Road will be
installed from lot 34 to lot 28, at which point it will transition to a 6-foot-tall brick
privacy wall with vegetation, behind the pool and amenity center and tapering to 5
feet in height at the entrance monument for the neighborhood.
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 considered denied.
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 to a (CZD) R-5 District. 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 DENIAL of the rezoning request is
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 [Approve/Deny] of the proposed rezoning to a conditional (CZD) R-5 district. I find
it to be [Consistent/Inconsistent] with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan
because [insert reasons]
