Failure of the Planning and Zoning Board to make a recommendation to the Village Council within ninety (90) days of the first public meeting in which the item is on the agenda for consideration by the Board shall be considered a favorable recommendation.

(2) If the Village Council rejects a General Concept Plan, then the reasons therefor shall be stated in the record of action on the General Concept Plan;
(3) Failure of the Village Council to act on the General Concept Plan within ninety (90) days of being placed on an agenda for consideration, the General Concept Plan and recommendations from the Planning and Zoning Board shall be deemed approval of the General Concept Plan, authorizing the applicant to proceed with preparing full site plan (Appendix D) drawings of the property in accordance with the General Concept Plan submitted to the Village Council. This time limit shall not apply where the delay in General Concept Plan approval is caused by the applicant's failure to obtain any special use approval required for the proposed development or where the applicant consents to such a delay.
