"If a city or town fails to approve a zoning
<br>proposal, the proposal cannot be considered
<br>by the council or town meeting within two
<br>years unless the planning board recommends
<br>adoption."

Question: does "unless the PB recommends adoption" refer to the original proposal that failed to gain Town Meeting approval....or to the reintroduction of the proposal within two years?

Question: If a PB holds hearings on a zoning amendment and then either has a tie for PB vote regarding support, or does not deliver an opinion either way, this would seem to qualify as not "recommending adoption" correct?
