Rezoning Criteria: yes, no?• Trade-offs:
– Provides legislative authority to deny; policy driven– But equal treatment: must use each time!
• Is it a suitable use given nearby property? • Does it adversely affect the use/usability of nearby
property?• Does current zoning allow reasonable economic use? • Will/could it cause burden on infrastructure or schools?• Does it conform w/ adopted land use plan & policy intent?• Are there changing conditions which give supporting
grounds for either approval or disapproval?
