47.26 Action by the Board - Decision: Following any hearing, the Board of Supervisors may approve, modify or disapprove the recommendation of the Planning Commission; provided that any modification of the proposed rezoning amendment by the Board of Supervisors not previously considered by the Planning Commission during its hearing, shall first be referred to the Planning Commission for report and recommendation, but the Planning Commission shall not be required to hold a public hearing thereon. Failure of the Planning Commission to report within forty (40) days after the reference, or such longer period as may be designated by the Board of Supervisors, shall be deemed to be approval of the proposed modification.

The Board of Supervisors, or the Planning Commission may by resolution abandon any proceeding for rezoning amendment initiated by its own resolution of intention, but only when such proceedings are before such body for consideration and provided that any hearing of which public notice has been given shall be held.
