Upon receipt of the report and recommendations from the Zoning Board of Appeals to grant or deny a variance, Council, without further public hearing, may approve the variance, deny the variance or refer it back to the Board for further consideration. In approving a variance, the Council may impose certain limited conditions on the development subject to the variance, as recommended by the Zoning Board of Appeals, or as determined by the Council, that are necessary or appropriate to reduce the impact or injurious effect of said variance and to better carry out the general intent of the Village regulations. Action by Council shall be by a majority vote of Council, except that any proposed variance which fails to receive a positive recommendation from the Board shall not be approved by Council except by a favorable vote of at least two-thirds (2/3rds) of all the Commissioners. A denial shall not require an ordinance, but shall be reflected in the official minutes of Council. Any approval shall be memorialized in ordinance form.
