Guest Robin Posted June 17, 2015 at 05:34 PM Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 at 05:34 PM Our Planning Commission had 4 of our 7 members present at a meeting. A motion to approve an application was made, and seconded. The vote was: 1 voted in favor of the motion and 3 voted against the motion. Our Chairman took that as a denial of the application since the three voted not to accept the motion to approve and moved on to the next agenda item. Is this correct procedure? Should we have asked for another motion to deny the application and have voted on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A separate motion to deny the application was unnecessary and improper.Planning Commissions and similar bodies frequently have their own rules on this subject, however, so you may need to look into that.
