§ 11-904  PUBLIC HEARING OF THE CITY COUNCIL.
   (A)   The City Council shall not hold its public meetings or take action on matters relating to any contemplated amendment, supplement, change, modification or repeal of the zoning ordinance.
   (B)   Procedures for the public hearing shall be as follows.
      (1)   Notice of the time and place of such hearing shall be given by publication thereof in a paper of general circulation or by publishing the same in book or pamphlet form in the city at least one time ten days prior to such meeting.
      (2)   In addition to the publication of the notice, a notice shall be posted in a conspicuous place on or near the property on which action is pending. Such notice shall not be less than 18 inches in height and 24 inches in width with a white or yellow background and black letters not less than one and one-half inches in height. Such posted notice shall be so placed upon such premises that it is easily visible from the street nearest the same and shall be so posted at least ten days prior to the date of such hearing. It shall be unlawful for anyone to remove, mutilate, destroy or change such notice prior to such hearing. Any person so doing shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. If the record title owners of any lots included in such proposed change be non-residents of the municipality, then a written notice of such hearing shall be mailed by certified mail to them addressed to their last known addresses at least ten days prior to such hearing. At the option of the legislative body of the municipality, in place of the posted notice provided above, the owners or occupants of the real estate to be zoned or rezoned and all real estate located within 300 feet of the real estate to be zoned or rezoned may be personally served with a written notice thereof at least ten days prior to the date of the hearing, if they can be served with such notice within the county where such real estate is located. Where such notice cannot be served personally upon such owners or occupants in the county where such real estate is located, a written notice of such hearing shall be mailed to such owners or occupants addressed to their last known addresses at least ten days prior to such hearing. The provisions of this section in reference to notice shall not apply:
         (a)   In the event of a proposed change in such regulations, restrictions or boundaries throughout the entire area of an existing zoning district or of the city; or
         (b)   In the event additional or different types of zoning districts are proposed, whether or not such additional or different districts are made applicable to areas, or parts of areas, already within a zoning district of the city, but only the requirements of Neb. RS 19-904 shall be applicable.
(2005 Code, § 11-904)
§ 11-905  ACTION BY THE CITY COUNCIL.
   All proposed amendments, supplements, changes or modifications shall not become effective, except by a favorable vote by a majority of all the City Council members. If a proposed amendment is not acted upon finally by the City Council within 90 days after the conclusion of the public hearing by the City Council, such proposed amendment shall be deemed to have been defeated and denied, unless the applicant of such amendment shall have consented to an extension of such period of time. Whenever a proposed amendment is defeated, either by vote of the City Council or by reason of the operation of this section, such amendment shall not thereafter be passed without a further public hearing and notice thereof as provided in § 11-904 of this article.
(2005 Code, § 11-905)
§ 11-906  PROTEST PETITION.
   If a written protest against a proposed amendment shall be filed in the office of the Zoning Administrator within ten days after the conclusion of the public hearing by the City Council, which protest is duly signed by the owners of 20% or more either of the area of the lots included in such proposed change, or of those immediately adjacent on the sides and in the rear thereof extending 300 feet therefrom and of those directly opposite thereto extending 300 feet from the street frontage of such opposite lots, such amendment shall not become effective, except by the favorable vote of three-fourths of all the members of the City Council.
(2005 Code, § 11-906)
§ 11-907  MINIMUM SIZE OF PARCEL.
   No amendment changing the zoning classification of any lot, parcel or tract of land shall be adopted unless such lot, parcel or tract has 100 feet of frontage on a public street, or has 10,000 square feet of area, or abuts on a lot, parcel or tract of land that has the same zoning classification as that which is proposed for the property which is the subject of the proposed amendments.
(2005 Code, § 11-907)
§ 11-908  APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO ZONING MAP.
   In granting an amendment to the zoning map, upon application by a property owner or his or her authorized agent, the City Council may require the dedication of additional street right-of-way where an officially adopted street plan indicates need for increased width or where the nature of the proposed development warrants increased street width, and the Council may require permanent screen strips or other devices to minimize conflict with residential land use.
