§ 185-51
Decision of the Town Council
- A. Within 45 days following the completion of the public hearing, the Town Council shall render a decision on the proposed amendment and shall notify the applicant, the Building Official, the Zoning Board of Review, the Planning Board and the Town Clerk of such decision.
- B. In granting an amendment to this chapter, the Town Council may limit the change to one of the permitted uses in the district to which the subject land is rezoned and impose such conditions and restrictions as it deems necessary, including, without limitation:
- (1) Requiring the applicant to obtain a permit or approval from any and all state or local governmental agencies or instrumentalities having jurisdiction over the land and use which are the subject of the zoning change.
- (2) Those relating to the effectiveness or continued effectiveness of the zoning change.
- (3) Those relating to the use of the land.
- C. Such conditions or restrictions shall be clearly noted on the Zoning Map and recorded in the land evidence records of the Town of Barrington; provided, however, that in the case of a conditional zone change, the conditions or restrictions shall not be noted on the Zoning Map until the zone change has become effective.
- D. If the permitted use for which the land has been rezoned is abandoned, or if the land is not used for the requested purpose for a period of two years or more after the zone change becomes effective, the Town Council may, after a public hearing as hereinbefore set forth, change the land to its original zoning use before the application was filed.
- E. Where the Town Council denies or grants leave to withdraw to an applicant for amendment of this chapter, the council shall not consider another application for the same amendment for a period of one year from the date of such denial or withdrawal. This period of time may be waived if the subsequent application is accompanied by an affidavit presenting facts, to the satisfaction of the Town Council, demonstrating that a substantial change in the factual circumstances exists, justifying a rehearing of the proposed amendment.
