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 housing type and density is within the range recommended by the Community
Mixed Use place type. I also find RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of the rezoning request
is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposed conditions can mitigate
potential impacts on neighboring development.
Proposed Conditions
1. In addition to the quadraplex units shown on the concept plan the following dwelling
unit types are permitted:
a. Triplex Dwelling
b. Duplex Dwelling
c. Dual-Unit Attached Dwelling
2. Each dwelling unit shall have a one-car garage and a minimum of two exterior
parking spaces on a private driveway parking pad. A minimum of 16 additional
vehicle parking spaces shall be provided in addition to the vehicle parking provided
for each unit.
3. Structures shall have a maximum building height of 35 feet.
4. The proposed right-turn lane must be approved and permitted by NCDOT. Changes
to the concept plan to meet NCDOT requirements for the turn lane may be approved
administratively by county staff.
5. Tree protection fencing shall be installed prior to the onset of land clearing and
grading along a minimum 15-foot offset from the rear boundary of the tract. No
disturbance of existing vegetation or grading will be permitted within that buffer
strip. Prior to the Certificate of Occupancy, a minimum eight-foot-tall solid wood
screening fence shall be installed along that 15-foot buffer yard.
6. Prior to detailed design and permitting, a Certified Arborist will inventory any existing
Significant and Specimen trees within the central courtyard for health and viability.
After clearing of underbrush and any damaged or dead trees, protection fencing
shall be installed around the perimeter of proposed preservation area, prior to the
onset of land clearing and grading elsewhere on the site. Those existing trees, along
with other regulated trees will be protected as a natural grove meeting the county’s
tree protection standards.
7. Exterior luminaries, including security lighting, shall be full cut-off fixtures that are
directed downward in compliance with Figure 5.5.4.C Full Cut-off Fixtures of the
Unified Development Ordinance. Light posts shall be no taller than 16 feet.
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 housing type and density is within the range recommended by the Community
Mixed Use place type, I find RECOMMENDING DENIAL of the rezoning request is
reasonable and in the public interest because the project places the attached dwelling
units too close to existing single-family development.
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]

and in the public interest because [insert reasons]
