The Board of Commissioners may from time to time on its own motion or on petition after public notice and hearing as provided by the law, amend, supplement or change, modify or repeal the boundaries or regulations herein or subsequently established. In case, however, of a protest against such change signed and acknowledged by the owners of 20% or more of the frontage proposed to be changed or of the areas of the lots on either side thereof or of the frontage immediately in rear thereof or directly opposite thereto, such amendment shall not be passed except by a three-fourths vote of all the members of the Board of Commissioners present and voting. The protest procedure shall apply only to changes in existing zoning on property already within the town limits and previously zoned. Said protest procedure shall not apply to the initial zoning of new territory within or outside the town limits as the result of annexation or otherwise. Before the Board of Commissioners may consider said change or amendment, it shall submit the same to the Planning Board for its recommendation pursuant to the provisions of this chapter.
