(Ord. 37-02, passed 7-10-02)
Within 60 days from the receipt of the proposed amendment, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall transmit its recommendation to the City Council. The Commission may recommend that the amendment be granted as requested or modification of the amendment as requested or recommend that the amendment be denied. The written decision of the Commission shall indicated the specific reason(s) upon which the recommendation is based, including the basis for their determination that the proposed amendment is or is not consistent with the comprehensive plan.
(Ord. 37-02, passed 7-10-02)
Upon receipt of the recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, the City Council shall schedule a public hearing. Said hearing shall be not more than 40 days from the receipt of the recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission.
(Ord. 37-02, passed 7-10-02)
Notice of the public hearing required in § 155.2708 shall be given by City Council in at least one publication of one or more newspapers of general circulation in the City. Said notice shall be published at least 30 days before the date of the required hearing. The published notice shall set forth the time and place of the public hearing and a summary of the proposed amendment.
If the proposed amendment intends to rezone or redistrict ten or less parcels of land as listed on the tax duplicate, written notice of the hearing shall be mailed by the City Clerk by first-class mail at least 20 days before the day of the public hearing to all owners of property within, contiguous to, and directly across the street from such area proposed to be rezoned or redistricted to the addresses of such owners appearing on the County Auditor's current tax list or the Treasurer's mailing list, and to such other lists or lists that may be specified by the City Council. The failure to deliver the notification as provided in this section shall not invalidate any such amendment. The notice shall contain the same information as required of notices published in newspapers as specified in § 155.2709.
Such amendment adopted by City Council shall become effective 30 days after the date of such adoption, unless within 30 days after the passage of the ordinance there is presented to the City Clerk a petition, signed by a number of qualified voters residing in the city, equal to but not less than 10% of the total vote cast in such areas at the last preceding general election at which a Governor was elected, requesting the City Council to submit the Zoning Amendment to the electors of the city for approval or rejection at the next general election.
All land annexed to the City subsequent to the adoption of this chapter shall remain subject to the previous county or township zoning district regulations until such time as the Zoning Map is amended according to the provisions of this subchapter. All land annexed to the city which, prior to annexation, is not subject to county or township zoning shall remain unzoned until the Zoning Map is amended according to the provisions of this subchapter.
