(A) A proceeding for approval of a conditional zoning district shall be initiated by filing an application with the Code Enforcement Officer. The application shall be signed and filed by the owner or, with the owner’s specific written consent, a contract purchaser or owner’s agent of a property included within the boundaries of a proposed conditional rezoning. The application for a conditional use district shall be the same as that for a change in the base zoning district. If the requested use or uses is listed as a conditional use within the conditional zoning district, the approval of a conditional zoning district shall constitute approval of the conditional use.
(B) A conditional zoning district may be granted as an amendment to an ongoing rezoning case before the Planning Commission or the city. Before granting the amendment, the city may issue a courtesy notice to affected parties of the proposed conditional zoning district and will not require the applicant to submit a new application or pay additional fees other than for the difference (if any) between a conventional case and a conditional zoning case. Such amendment shall then be considered at the next regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting or, in the case of the city, at the next regularly scheduled meeting at which zoning cases will be considered. All costs associated with issuance of the courtesy notice shall be borne by the city.
