An amendment to this Zoning Ordinance may be proposed by petition by Council, the Planning Commission, or the owners of fifty percent or more of the real property area to which the petition relates. Petitions, duly signed, may be presented to the City Clerk. It shall be the duty of the City Clerk to present such proposed amendments to the Planning Commission for review and to Council for adoption by ordinance as appropriate.
A request shall be submitted in the form of an application or petition at least eight working days prior to the Planning Commission meeting, at which the request is to be introduced, to the City Clerk along with a filing fee, to be set periodically by the Commission to defray administrative costs of a request, as well as any other supporting documents. Each request for a change in zoning shall include a list of the names and addresses of the owners of properties located within the same block as the property to be rezoned and within a radius of two hundred feet of all boundaries of the property to be rezoned. Where a block is not easily definable, the request shall include the names and address of all property owners within a six hundred foot radius of the subject property.
