A. The City Commission shall not act upon a proposed amendment to the Official Zoning Map or Zoning Ordinance text until it has received the written findings of fact and recommendation thereon from the Planning Commission. Pursuant to KRS 100.211(2), it shall take a majority of the entire City Commission to override the recommendation of the Planning Commission, and it shall take a majority of the entire City Commission to adopt a zoning map and text amendment whenever the Planning Commission forwards the application to the City Commission without a recommendation of approval or disapproval due to a tie vote. Unless a majority of the entire City Commission votes to override the Planning Commission's recommendation, such recommendation shall become final and effective. If a recommendation of approval was made by the Planning Commission, the ordinance of the City Commission adopting the zoning map amendment shall be deemed to have passed by operation of law.
B. The City Commission shall take final action upon a proposed zoning map or text amendment within ninety (90) days of the date upon which the Planning Commission takes its final action on such proposal. The City Commission shall also notify the Administrative Officer and the Chairman of the Planning Commission as to when the proposed amendment will be reviewed by the City Commission prior to the City Commission's final action, and subsequent notification when action has been taken.
