I guess we're throwing out the whole idea of expedited <br /> review? <br /> e. Planning Board Review and Approval Procedures: After receiving the Planning Department's report or, <br /> if applicable, the expiration of the time period prescribed in Section III-D-1-b, the Planning Board shall <br /> consider the Concept Plan, including both the Conventional Development Option and the Flexible <br /> Development Option, and take action on the proposals. The Planning Board shall base its action on its <br /> findings as to the conformity of the proposals with all applicable regulations and shall: <br /> • Approve the Development Options; <br /> • Approve the Development Options subject to conditions; or <br /> • Deny the Development Options. <br /> If the Planning Board approves the Development Options either with or without conditions, it shall <br /> recommend to the subdivider which Development Option that it considers most appropriate, based on the <br /> characteristics of the site, its suitability for development, and the intent of the Flexible Development <br /> standards as specified in Section IV-B-10-A.

Another addition is the <br /> requirement that the Planning Board recommend to the subdivider which Development <br /> Option to pursue. This approach is based on a similar concept contained in the Grafton, <br /> Massachusetts Flexible Development Bylaws. <br /> Flexible Development 40 <br />
