(a) Within thirty (30) days after the public hearing, the Cardington Council shall consider the recommendation of the Cardington Planning and Zoning Commission and vote on the proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. In the event the Council denies or modifies the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission or if there is no such recommendation, it must do so by not less than three-fourths of the full membership of Council. No such ordinance shall be passed unless it has been fully and distinctly read on three different days before Council, except that such Zoning Ordinance may become emergency legislation if three-fourths of the members of Council vote to dispense with the three-reading rule.
(b) In the event there are an insufficient number of affirmative votes to validly adopt, modify, or deny the recommendation, said recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission shall be deemed adopted by implication. (Ord. 97-3. Passed 5-19-97.)
