(a) Any rezoning application or other matter which must be acted upon by the Planning and Zoning Commission may be tabled by the Commission upon the request of the applicant. The applicant shall pay a one-time fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00) per application for such tabling request. Such tabling may be done by the Development Services Director or by the Chairperson if it is submitted in writing prior to the Planning and Zoning Commission's scheduled meeting. If tabling is requested at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, the Commission shall consider the impact on those citizens present in ruling on the request to table.
(b) Rezoning applications shall be submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission prior to being considered by the Service Committee.
(c) An applicant may not request that a rezoning application be tabled at any Service Committee meeting and such an application shall not be tabled more than once before the Planning and Zoning Commission. (The concern that an application denied by the Planning and Zoning Commission may be later withdrawn, causing unfairness to citizens, is discussed above. Subsection (d), hereof sets up a situation where withdrawal must occur prior to a Planning and Zoning Commission vote on an application. If withdrawal occurs after the Planning and Zoning Commission vote, the resubmittal time limits become effective.)
(d) A rezoning application before the Planning and Zoning Commission may only be withdrawn by the applicant prior to the Planning and Zoning Commission's vote on the application.
(e) Resubmittals shall be as follows:
(1) A withdrawn rezoning application may not be resubmitted and/or revised to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a period of at least six months. A rezoning application which has been previously withdrawn and previously resubmitted and/or revised shall not be resubmitted for at least a twelve-month period.
(2) Any rezoning application before any board, committee, commission or Council for action on or relating to a standard zoning district may not be resubmitted for a period of twelve months from the effective date of the denial.
(3) Any rezoning application before any board, committee, commission or Council for action on or relating to a planned zoning district may not be resubmitted for a period of twelve months from the effective date of the denial.
(f) As used in this section, "denial" means:
(1) An application is denied by the Service Committee of Council and the applicant opts not to request Council action.
(2) An application fails to achieve Council approval.
(3) An application approved by Council is vetoed by the Mayor and the veto is sustained.
(g) Where other section(s) or table(s) in this Part Twelve - the Planning and Zoning Code are at variance or inconsistent with the provisions of this section, the provisions of this section shall control.
