The Plan Commission (or Extraterritorial Zoning (ETZ) Committee for land in the ETZ Area of the Town of Weston) shall hold a public hearing on all proposed amendments to the Official Zoning Map. Following the public hearing, and after consideration of comments provided therein, the Plan Commission or ETZ Committee shall review the proposed amendment to the Official Zoning Map and shall within 45 days of the public hearing make a recommendation to the Village Board that the application be granted as requested, modified, or denied. If the Commission or Committee fails to make a recommendation within this time frame, the proposed amendment shall be forwarded to the Village Board without recommendation.
