§ 11.4. ACTION BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Before taking such lawful action, as it may deem advisable to approve or deny an applicants request, the Board of County Commissioners shall consider the Planning Board's comments and recommendations on each proposed zoning amendment. If no written recommendation and report is received from the Planning Board within thirty (30) days after the Planning Board receives the application. The Board of County Commissioners may proceed in its consideration of the amendment without the Planning Board report.

Prior to adopting or rejecting any zoning amendment, the Board of County Commissioners shall adopt a statement describing whether its action is consistent with the adopted Land Use Plan and explaining why the Board considers the action taken to be reasonable and in the public interest. This statement is not subject to judicial review.

A member of the Board of County Commissioners shall not vote on any zoning map or text amendment where the outcome of the matter being considered is reasonably likely to have a direct, substantial, and readily identifiable financial impact on the member. (Amendment # 12 effective January 23, 2006)
