§ 1-11.5 Quorum and Voting.

RCNY § 1-11.5

Public hearing or review sessions will only be conducted with a quorum. A quorum of the Board will consist of three (3) commissioners. A concurring vote of at least three (3) commissioners will be necessary for a decision to grant an application or an appeal, to revoke or modify a variance, special permit or other decision of the Board, or to make, amend, or repeal a rule or regulation. If an action fails to receive the requisite three (3) votes, it will be deemed a denial. If a commissioner or commissioners are absent at the roll call and the absentee commissioner or commissioners are eligible to vote, the Chair may defer the decision to a later time.
