The Commission, based on the evidence submitted and its own study and knowledge of the circumstances involved, may deny a request for a change of zone or may recommend that all or any part of a request for a change of zone be granted. The Commission may also recommend a change to a zone other than that requested by the applicant, or may grant a variance for a use permitted in the zone requested. The Commission's action shall be set forth in a resolution and shall be carried by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the total voting members. Failure to receive said two-thirds affirmative votes shall mean that the request for a change of zone has been denied.
