Council shall not reconsider a proposed amendment to the Zoning Map if such amendment requests a change to the same zoning classification for the same lot, parcel or portion thereof, within a period of one year from the date of the final determination of a period of the prior request. However, the Planning Commission may recommend to Council that such reconsideration be given after the Commission has found that either:
(a) There has been a substantial change in the character of the area; or
(b) Evidence or factors or conditions exist which were not considered by the Commission or Council in previous deliberations which might substantially alter the basis upon which the previous determination was reached.
