Request by Sam Franck with Ward and Smith, P.A., applicant, on behalf of the YMCA of Southeastern North

53 acres of an approximately 242-acre parcel zoned R-15, Residential located on the 6600 block of the
north side of Sidbury Road to a general use CB, Community Business district.
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:

d. Applicant’s rebuttal (up to 5 minutes)
e. Opponent’s rebuttal (up to 5 minutes)
3. Close the public hearing
4. Board discussion
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 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 APPROVE the proposed rezoning. 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 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 (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. 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 DENIAL of the rezoning request is 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 [Approve/Deny] of the proposed rezoning to a CB district. I find it to be
[Consistent/Inconsistent] with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because [insert
reasons]

I also find recommending [Approve/Deny] of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the
public interest because [insert reasons]
