Each ordinance or resolution establishing, amending, revising, changing or repealing zoning classifications, districts, uses, or regulations shall be referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission immediately after its first reading. Within thirty (30) days of such referral the Planning and Zoning Commission shall cause such ordinance or resolution to be returned to the Clerk of Council together with the written recommendations of the majority of the members of such commission.
No such ordinance or resolution which violates, differs from or departs from the written recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission shall take effect unless passed and approved by a vote of not less than three (3) of the members of Council. This provision shall not be construed to mean that an ordinance or resolution recommended for passage by the Planning and Zoning Commission shall be passed by less than the votes required by Section 4.06 of this Charter. (Amended 11-2-93.)
