5. Before we proceed with the 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 to a Community Business district.
I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because
the Community Business zoning district would provide uses that are in line with the Community
Mixed Use place type that could serve existing and future residents. I also find
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest
because the district would act as a community service business node to serve the surrounding
area.
Alternative Motion for Denial
I move to RECOMMEND DENIAL of the proposed rezoning to a Community Business district.
While I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan
because the Community Business zoning district would provide uses that are in line with the
Community Mixed Use place type that could serve existing and future residents, I find
RECOMMENDING DENIAL of the rezoning request is not reasonable and in the public interest
because the variety and potential scale of by-right uses in the straight CB district may
adversely impact the Sidbury Road corridor and nearby residents.
Alternative Motion for Approval/Denial:
I move to RECOMMEND [Approval/Denial] of the proposed rezoning to a Community Business
district. I find it to be [Consistent/Inconsistent] with the purposes and intent of the
Comprehensive Plan because [insert reasons]
