Following its review, the planning board shall prepare a written report and recommendation for the town council. The report shall include a discussion of the above factors and of the reasons supporting the recommendation.

The report shall include:

• • (1) A statement on the general consistency of the proposal with the Town of Narragansett 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 section 1 of the zoning ordinance.

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