ZMA DISCLAIMER
As an amendment is a legislative action,the Commission has broad latitude to determine a policy direction.The burden of proof
that the application should be approved lies with the applicant.
A zone map amendment must be in accordance with the growth policy(criteria A) and be designed to secure safety from fire
and other dangers(criteria B), promote public health, public safety,and general welfare(criteria C), and facilitate the provision
of transportation,water,sewerage, schools, parks and other public requirements(criteria D). Therefore,to approve a zone map
amendment the Commission must find Criteria A-D are met.
In addition,the Commission must also consider criteria E-K, and may find the zone map amendment to be positive, neutral,or
negative with regards to these criteria. To approve the zone map amendment,the Commission must find the positive outcomes
of the amendment outweigh negative outcomes for criteria E-K. In determining whether the criteria are met,Staff considers
the entire body of regulations for land development.Standards which prevent or mitigated negative impacts are incorporated
throughout the entire municipal code but are principally in Chapter 38, Unified Development Code.
The information, or argument, is necessary to make a decision. Statements supporting the application must identify goals and
objectives of the Growth Policy advanced by the proposed change. Conclusory statements are not arguments for a proposed
change.Your argument is critical to the success or failure of your application. Please refer to example findings to help inform your
analysis.
Be aware your application will be analyzed against spot zoning and is a primary component of the public review. You may wish to
comment to ensure your request is successful and defensible.
