- (1) A statement on the general consistency of the proposal with the town's comprehensive plan, including the goals and policies statement, the implementation program, and all other applicable elements of the comprehensive plan; and
- (2) A demonstration of recognition and consideration of each of the applicable purposes of zoning, as presented in article I of this chapter.

If the planning board recommends that the town council adopt the amendment, the report shall also describe any conditions which warrant the amendment.
