A. This zoning ordinance, including the official zoning map, may be amended from time to time by the city council after holding a public hearing. Notice shall be posted in the city at least fifteen (15) days prior to the time and place of such hearing. All proposed amendments shall be posted with the required notice. All proposed amendments shall be first proposed by the planning commission or shall be submitted to the planning commission for its recommendation which shall be returned to the city council for its consideration within thirty (30) days. Failure by the planning commission to take action on the proposed amendment within the prescribed time shall be deemed approval by the commission of the proposed change or amendment. The city council may overrule the planning commission's recommendation by a majority vote of its members.
B. A property owner or owners may request a zoning change by completing and submitting to the city recorder, along with the required fee, an application for rezoning real property. A complete legal description of the property proposed to be rezoned and a list of all adjacent property owners within three hundred feet (300') of the property proposed for rezone and their addresses, must be included in the application. The city will notify these property owners of the proposed rezone.
C. In the case where a single, undivided parcel of property overlaps the municipal boundary between Farr West City and an adjoining county or municipality and the ongoing use of the entire property existed before the adoption of this amendment, a property owner or owners may request a zoning change for that portion of the property which is within the Farr West City to a zone which is identical to, or most similar to, the municipal or county zone governing that portion of the property within the adjacent county or municipality. Such a zoning change request may be granted without condition if:
1. The entire property is owned by the same owner or owners;
2. The use of the property was established before the date of this amendment and was ongoing up to the time of the zoning change request,
3. The use of the property is not being changed; and
4. The use of property is in compliance with the zoning regulations of the neighboring county or municipality governing the portion of the property outside of the Farr West City boundary. (Ord. 2014-02; Ord. 22-12)
