§ 8184-4.3. Board of Supervisors action.

(a)

Following a public hearing, the Board of Supervisors may approve, modify or disapprove any Planning Commission recommendation regarding an amendment request to the Coastal Zoning Ordinance, provided that any modification of the proposed amendment by the Board of Supervisors not previously considered by the Planning Commission during its hearing shall first be referred back to the Planning Commission for a report and recommendation. In addition, the public hearing shall be continued to allow sufficient time for the Planning Commission to report back to the Board of Supervisors. The Planning Commission shall not be required to hold a public hearing prior to reporting back to the Board of Supervisors. Failure of the Planning Commission to report back within forty (40) days after such referral, or within a period of time designated by the Board of Supervisors, shall be regarded as approval by the Commission of the proposed modification. A modification shall be deemed "previously considered" by the Planning Commission if the modification of the proposed amendment by the Board of Supervisors is based upon the issues and evidence initially heard by the Planning Commission.

(b)

The Board of Supervisors may impose reasonable conditions that must occur prior to the effective date of any amendment request for the protection of public health, safety, and general welfare.

(c)

The Board of Supervisors action to approve, in whole or part, an amendment request shall not be deemed effective until after the Coastal Commission has reviewed and approved the request.
