is, or is not, consistent with the land use plan and why approval or denial of the rezoning

Example Motion for Denial
I move to RECOMMEND DENIAL of the proposed request to remove the Special
Highway Overlay District (SHOD). I find removal of the SHOD without conditions to
address the district’s design requirements it to be generally INCONSISTENT with the
2016 Comprehensive Plan because the requested straight rezoning would remove
standards intended to ensure Market Street acted as an attractor for county residents
and visitors for a parcel designated as the Community Mixed Use place type without
adequate alternative guarantees for those ordinance protections. I also find
RECOMMENDING DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public
interest because removal of the SHOD standards could allow for additional impacts to
nearby residential development.
Alternative Motion for Approval
I move to RECOMMEND APPROVAL of the proposed rezoning. I find the request to be
CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because
the requested straight rezoning would remove standards to potentially encourage
future commercial redevelopment of the site in line with the goals of the Community
Mixed Use place type. I also find RECOMMENDING APPROVAL is reasonable and in the
public interest because the existing site development has not resulted in unreasonably
negative impacts on surrounding development given the commercial nature of the
Market Street corridor.
Alternative Motion for Approval/Denial:
I move to RECOMMEND [Approval/Denial] of the proposed rezoning to remove the
Special Highway Overlay District. I find it to be [Consistent/Inconsistent] with the
purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because [insert reasons]
