These <br /> standards include maintaining or promoting the public health, safety, and <br /> general welfare, maintaining or enhancing the value of contiguous <br /> property, and the use being in compliance with the general plan for the <br /> physical development of the County. <br /> The Zoning Officer has reviewed the application, the site plan and all <br /> supporting documentation and has found that the application does comply <br /> with the specific standards and required regulations concerning the Special <br /> Use Permit. <br /> Provided the Planning Board and the County Commissioners find in the <br /> affirmative on the general standards, the Zoning Officer recommends <br /> approval of the request. <br /> _ No decision on the application is made by either the Planning Board or the <br /> Board of Commissioners at the public hearing. Instead, the Planning Board <br /> has 60 days within which to prepare and submit a recommendation to the <br /> Board of Commissioners. Failure of the Planning Board to submit a <br /> recommendation within the required time shall be considered a favorable <br /> recommendation,without conditions. <br /> Administration Recommendation <br /> The Administration recommends that the application be referred to the <br /> Planning Board for a recommendation to be returned to the Board of <br /> Commissioners no sooner than May S, 1997. <br />
