§ 218-15. Decision by Town Council.

Within forty-five days after the completion of the public hearing, the Town Council shall render a decision on any proposed amendment and shall notify the applicant, the Building Inspector, Town Planner and the Planning Commission. If the land that has been rezoned is not used for the requested purpose within two years after the zone change becomes effective, the Town Council may, after a public hearing, change the land to its original district. In granting a zoning amendment, the Town Council may limit the change to only one of the permitted uses allowed in the requested district and impose such limitations, conditions, and restrictions, including, without limitation:

  • A. Requiring the petitioner to obtain a permit or approval from any and all state and local government agencies having jurisdiction over the land and use which are the subject of the zoning change;

  • B. Those relating to the effectiveness or continued effectiveness of the zoning change;

  • C. Those relating to the use of the land; as it deems necessary.

  • D. If any limitation, condition, or restriction in an ordinance is held to be invalid by a court in any action, that holding shall not cause the remainder of the ordinance to be invalid.
