(A) Any permanent change in zoning first shall be submitted to the Planning Commission of the city. The Commission shall recommend to the City Council to accept or reject the proposed zoning change. Applications for permanent changes in zoning shall be considered at a public hearing before the Commis- sion, pursuant to the requirements of this chapter. The Commission shall make its findings of facts and recommendations to the Council within 30 days after the public hearing.
(B) If any person, partnership, corporation or other entity wishes to have a permanent change in zoning on any property located within the city limits, a description of the particular change in use that is requested is required to be listed on the petition.
(C) The person, partnership, corporation or other entity making the request, or that person's representatives, assigns or successors in interest, shall begin that particular change in use contemplated within six months and shall complete it within two years of the date the change is granted or the change that is granted by the Council will be considered null and void and will revert to the original zoning it was before the change was granted; provided, no extension of the time limits are granted by the Council and the reversal will not cause undue hardship to the person or other entity making the request, or that person's representatives, assigns or successors in interest.
