   (A)   The procedure for amending the zoning ordinance specified in §§ 152.200 through 152.210 of this chapter shall be followed.
   (B)   In considering an amendment to a zoning map, the Planning Commission shall seek to determine the following:
      (1)   That the change is in accord with the land use plan for the area; and
