Action on approving or denying the rezoning application is considered to be a Legislative decision made in accordance with the provisions of Article Twenty (20) of the Zoning Ordinance. 2. If the application to rezone the properties is approved, the BOCC will then take action on the PD/SUP application proposing the development of the property as a master planned mixed-use commercial site. Action on approving or denying the PD/SUP application is considered to be a Quasi- judicial decision made in accordance with the provisions of Article Eight (8) of the Zoning Ordinance.
