§ 27-192. Recommendation of Planning Board.

(a)

After the hearing is concluded, the Planning Board shall prepare a written recommendation. The recommendation shall be in the form of a resolution adopted at a regularly scheduled public meeting.

(b)

The Planning Board shall send copies of the resolution to the District Council and all persons of record.

(c)

The Planning Board may recommend to the District Council that the application (including the Basic Plan) be approved, approved with modification or conditions, or denied. A recommendation for approval shall address the land use types, land use relationships, and maximum and minimum land use quantities, as well as the base density. The Planning Board may also recommend that certain planning or development matters (known as "considerations") be considered at the time the Comprehensive and Specific Design Plans are reviewed. In making its recommendation, the Planning Board shall find that the applicant has demonstrated that the entire development, and any proposed stage thereof, meets all of the criteria for District Council approval of the application (Section 27-195).

(d)

The finding by the Planning Board of adequate public facilities at this time shall not prevent the Planning Board from later changing this finding during its review of Comprehensive Design Plans, Specific Design Plans, or subdivision plats. The Planning Board shall, at each phase of Plan or subdivision review, find that the staging of development will not be an unreasonable burden on available public facilities or violate the planning and development considerations set forth by the Council in the approval of the Basic Plan.
