A. The Board of Trustees may, from time to time, on its own motion or on petition, amend, supplement, or change by ordinance the regulations in the districts herein or subsequently established, but no such amendments shall be made without a public hearing before the Board of Zoning Appeals and Planning and its report to the Board of Trustees. Notice of the time, place and purpose of such hearing shall be given by legal notice as required by law.

In addition, the Village shall post conspicuously on the petitioner's property, on the first working day following the publication of the legal notice and map, a sign which shall indicate that the property is to be the subject of a public hearing at a time and place specified on such sign. In the case of written protest against any proposed amendment, under the conditions specified in 65 Illinois Compiled Statutes 5/11-13-14, the amendment shall not be passed except by a favorable vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the Village Board. (Ord. 487, 1-7-2002, eff. 2-6-2002; amd. 2017 Code)
