Upon receipt of a report and summary of hearing comments from the planning commission, the city council may hold an additional public hearing, if it considers it necessary or, if otherwise required by law. The city council shall grant a hearing on a proposed ordinance amendment to an interested property owner who requests a hearing by certified mail addressed to the city clerk, and may proceed to adopt the amendment in accordance with the Charter provisions. The hearing at the request of an interested property owner is not subject to the requirements of section 94-101, except that notice of the hearing shall be given to the interested property owner in the manner required by subsection 94-101(2)a and (3). If the city council considers further changes desirable, which are in addition to, or departures from the proposed amendment, it may first refer the matter back to the planning commission for a further report.
