Sec. 23-2-30. - Duties of Planning Commission.
A. The Planning Commission shall hold a hearing to consider the application for the Change of Zone. The
public hearing may involve either the rezoning application alone or may include the review of concurrent
applications under the County's regulations concerning uses by special review, overlay districts or
subdivisions. The Planning Commission shall provide recommendations to the Board of County
Commissioners concerning the disposition of the requested change. The Planning Commission shall
recommend approval of the request for the Change of Zone only if it finds that the applicant has met the
standards or conditions of this Subsection A and Section 23-2-50.The applicant has the burden of proof to
show that the standards and conditions of this Subsection A and Section 23-2-50 are met. The applicant
shall demonstrate:
1. That the proposal is consistent with Chapter 22 of this Code; if not, then that the zoning of the property
under consideration is faulty, or that changing conditions in the area warrant a Change of Zone.
2. That the USES which would be allowed on the subject property by granting the Change of Zone will be
compatible with the surrounding land USES.
3. That adequate water and sewer service can be made available to the site to serve the USES permitted
within the proposed zone district.
4. That STREET or highway facilities providing access to the property are adequate in size to meet the
requirements of the proposed zone district. In the event that the STREET or highway facilities are not
properly sized and are planned to be properly sized in the future, in conformance with the Thoroughfare
Plan or in conformance with the MASTER PLANS of affected municipalities,the applicant may either wait
to secure the rezoning until the improvements are made by the appropriate unit of government or the
applicant may express a willingness to upgrade the STREET or highway facilities at his or her own
expense in order to expedite approval of the requested Change of Zone. In the latter event, it will be
necessary for the applicant to either construct the necessary improvements before the building permits
are issued, or submit suitable performance guarantees to the County to ensure construction of the
required STREET or highway facility improvements.
5. That, in those instances where the following characteristics are applicable to the rezoning request, the
applicant has demonstrated compliance with the applicable standards:
a. If the proposed Change of Zone is located within any Overlay District identified by maps officially
adopted by the COUNTY, that the applicant has demonstrated compliance with the COUNTY
regulations concerning Overlay Districts. Compliance may be demonstrated in a previous public
hearing or in the hearing concerning the rezoning application.
b. That the proposed rezoning will not permit the USE of any area known to contain a COMMERCIAL
MINERAL DEPOSIT in a manner which would interfere with the present or future extraction of
such deposit by an extractor to any greater extent than under the present zoning of the property.
c. If soil conditions on the site are such that they present moderate or severe limitations to the
construction of STRUCTURES or facilities proposed for the site, that such limitations can be
overcome and that the limitations will be addressed by the applicant and/or the applicant's
successors or assigns prior to the DEVELOPMENT of the property.
