(1) If there is a zoning district change made on abutting property or property within 200 feet of the subject property; or
(2) If through the action of a public body, the economic use of abutting property or property within 200 feet of the subject property has been changed; or
(3) If through destruction, demolition or removal of structures, the economic use of abutting property within 200 feet of the subject property has been changed; or
(4) If because of a procedural error incurred in processing the application by the City, whereby the applicant would not be at fault; or
(5) If the zone change request is withdrawn by the applicant in a written notice to the Clerk of Council prior to the time that Council schedules a public hearing.
(b) The property owner may then apply to the Planning Commission for a right of rehearing.
