A. Authorized; Submit to Planning Commission. The Town Council may amend the number, shape, boundaries, or area of any zone, or any regulation of or within any zone or zones or any other provisions of this title. A legislative body may not make any amendment authorized by this section unless the legislative body first submits the amendment to the planning commission for the planning commission's recommendation.
B. Appeal of Denial. Zoning amendment applications denied by the Planning Commission may be appealed to the appeals authority. Any such appeals must be made within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the Planning Commission's decision. The appeals authority shall then make the final decision.
C. Denial to Reclassify. Denial of an application to amend the zoning map to reclassify any parcel or property shall prohibit the filing of another application to amend the zoning map to reclassify the same parcel of property, or any portion thereof, to the same zone classification within one year from the date of the final denial of the previous application, unless the Planning Commission finds that there has been a substantial change in the circumstances or sufficient new evidence since the denial of the previous application to merit consideration of a second application within the one year time period.
