(a) The regulations, restrictions and boundaries set forth in this Ordinance may from time to time be amended, supplemented, changed or repealed, provided, however, that no such action may be taken until after it has been referred to the Commission for a public hearing.
(Ord. 91-95. Passed 10-7-1996.)
(b) Notice Procedures.
(1) Notice of the public hearing shall be made in a newspaper of general circulation no less than seven (7) days before the hearing; said notice shall state the time, place and purpose of the hearing in accordance with Chapter 107 (Publication of Legal Notices) of the Ordinances.
(Ord. 124-05. Passed 2-6-2006.)
(2) The Commission shall give written notice of a public hearing, stating the time, place and purpose to all owners and residents of property within 200 feet of the property for which rezoning is requested, except that where any entire district or a large part of a district is under consideration, notice other than that published in the newspaper need not be given.
(c) Where the Commission votes to not recommend the amendment, the amendment shall become effective only by a favorable vote of a two-thirds (2/3) majority of Council.
(d) Applications to amend the
Zoning Ordinances of the City, which have been denied by the Commission, may be resubmitted within ten (10) days, if a request is made in writing by the applicant, setting forth the grounds thereof. If the Commission determines by vote that valid grounds have been submitted, a rehearing shall be granted. If the request is not made within ten (10) days from date of ruling, no application on the same appeal may be made to the Commission for a period of six (6) months from the date the original application was denied. The filing of an application for a rehearing shall not be deemed to extend the time permitted by law for the filing of an appeal to the Courts.
