The Board of County Commissioners <br /> holds a formal public hearing and makes decisions. Section 2.8 of the County's Unified <br /> Development Ordinance contains a flowchart depicting the review process for rezoning and text <br /> amendment applications. <br /> Planning Board Member Potential Conflict of Interest <br /> It is the duty of every Board member to avoid both conflicts of interest and appearances of conflict. <br /> Board members having any conflicts of interest or appearances of conflict with respect to matters <br /> before the Board should identify the conflict or appearance of conflict and refrain from undue <br /> participation in the matter involved. <br /> As a reminder, NC General Statute § 160D-109 establishes the following standard: Members of <br /> appointed boards shall not vote on any advisory or legislative decision regarding a development <br /> regulation where the outcome of the matter being considered is reasonably likely to have a direct, <br /> substantial, and readily identifiable financial impact on the member. An appointed board member <br /> shall not vote on any zoning amendment if the landowner of the property subject to a rezoning <br /> petition or the applicant for a text amendment is a person with whom the member has a close <br /> familial, business, or other associational relationship. <br />
