(A) Criteria for decision. Following review of the environmental impact report, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall approve, disapprove or request changes in the project in writing. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall approve the project unless it finds that either the project will have significant long term adverse effects on the environment with respect to the natural systems or other factors studied as prescribed in § 12-12-4 of this chapter or the project will have short term adverse effects on the environment so detrimental that public health, safety or welfare considerations preclude approval of the project. In the case of either finding, if changes in the project are feasible which ameliorate or avoid the adverse effects on the environment sufficiently to permit approval of the project, the Planning and Environmental Commission, in writing, shall describe those changes and request those changes be made. If the Planning and Environmental Commission determines that the changes are not feasible, it shall disapprove the project in writing, describing the adverse effects on the environment, the significance of the effects either to the natural systems or other factors studied as prescribed in § 12-12-4 of this chapter or to the public health, safety or welfare and the Planning and Environmental Commission’s reasons for concluding that no changes in the project are feasible to ameliorate or avoid those effects.
(B) Design changes require resubmission to Design Review Board. If the Planning and Environmental Commission requests any changes in the project which would alter the design of the project previously approved by the Design Review Board, and the sponsor of the project makes those changes, the revised design shall be resubmitted to the Design Review Board for its approval unless the Planning and Environmental Commission waives this requirement.
