(a) In General. This Zoning Code may be amended from time to time in the same manner and to the same extent as originally adopted, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the laws of the City of Lyndhurst.
(b) Amendments by Council. Council may, on its own action or on petition, amend this Zoning Code in any respect. No such amendment shall be passed unless it has first been submitted to the Planning Commission for its consideration, which Commission shall be allowed a reasonable time, not less than thirty days and no more than ninety days, to report thereon. However, any amending ordinance submitted to Council by the Commission may be passed without further reference to such Commission. Public notice of the ordinance or amendment shall be given as provided for in Section 1150.09(c)(100) ("Newspaper") and (117) ("Public Notice").
(c) Petitions by Property Owners. Whenever a petition for amendment to this Zoning Code pertaining to particular land use is presented to Council, duly signed by more than fifty percent of the owners of such land in a district which, when changed, does not result in spot zoning (as determined by the Director of Law), it shall be the duty of Council to vote upon such amendment within ninety days of the presentation of the petition.
(d) Amendments of the Zoning Map. When an amendment to this Zoning Code changing the zoning of any area becomes effective, it shall be the duty of the Commission to cause such change to be entered upon the Zoning Maps on file in the offices of the Clerk of Council and the Building Commissioner.
