§ 45-24.1-7.2 Scope of review by zoning
board.
When hearing appeals from commission decisions, the zoning board of review
shall not substitute its own judgment for that of the commission, but must
consider the issue upon the findings and record of the commission. The zoning
board of review shall not reverse a commission decision except on a finding of
prejudicial procedural error, clear error, or lack of support by the weight of
the evidence in the record. The zoning board of review shall put all decisions
on appeal in writing. The zoning board of review shall articulate and explain
the reasons and bases of each decision on the record, and the zoning board of
review shall send a copy of the decision to the applicant and to the historic
district commission.
