3 RECOIV AMNDATION: Article 8.4.3 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that the Zoning Officer's recommendation be presented to the Planning Board within 45 days of receipt of an application. The 45-day period may be extended up to 60 days with the written consent of the applicant. The public hearing is the time scheduled for presentation of the Zoning Officer's recommendation. Zoning Officer's Recommendation The Zoning Officer has not received information which would establish grounds for making a negative finding on the general standards. These standards include maintaining or promoting the public health, safety, and general welfare, maintaining or enhancing the value of contiguous property, and the use being in compliance with the general plan for the physical development of the County. The Zoning Officer has reviewed the application, the site plan and all supporting documentation and has found that the application does comply with the specific standards and required regulations concerning the modification. Provided the Planning Board and County Commissioners find in the affirmative on the general standards, the Zoning Officer recommends approval of the request for modification to the Special Use Permit for Carolina Friends School. No decision on the application is made by either the Planning Board or the Board of Commissioners at the public hearing. Instead,the Planning Board has 60 days within which to prepare and submit a recommendation to the Board of Commissioners. Failure of the Planning Board to submit a recommendation within the required time shall be considered a favorable recommendation,without conditions. Administration Recommendation The Administration recommends that the application be referred to the Planning Board for a recommendation to be returned to the Board of Commissioners no sooner than May 6, 1998.
