Section 25.06.224 Conflicts.

No member of the planning and zoning commission shall participate in the hearing or disposition of any matter in which he is interested. For purposes of this section, "interested" includes any direct or indirect financial or personal interest held by a commissioner or any member of his family. Prior to any hearing or disposition a commissioner shall cite any conflict of interest and withdraw from participation or may disclose the facts involved and request a determination of whether or not a conflict of interest exists. Any question of whether a member has a conflict of interest sufficient to disqualify him shall be decided by a majority vote of the members not including the member whose qualification is at issue; where such vote results in a tie, the member shall be disqualified.
