SECTION 4.10 AMENDMENT.
   (a)   A pending ordinance or resolution may be amended at any time prior to its passage by the Council by a majority vote of the members of the Council present and voting on the amendment, and such amendment shall not require additional readings of the ordinance or resolution.
   (b)   Any ordinance or resolution, or the codified ordinances or resolutions of the City, may be amended by the passage of subsequent ordinances or resolutions that: revise existing sections or parts thereof; enact new or supplemental sections or parts thereto; or repeal existing sections or parts thereof. This division does not prevent repeals by implication.
SECTION 4.11 ZONING MEASURES.
   (a)   Public hearing notice. When Council reviews applicant petitions for zoning district changes, the Clerk of Council shall cause a notice of the public hearing to be published one time in a newspaper of general circulation within the City at least seven days prior to the initial public hearing. When the petition for zoning district change involves ten or less parcels of land, the Clerk of Council or designee shall mail written notice of the public hearing to the owners of the property within, contiguous to, and directly across the street from the affected parcel or parcels at least seven days prior to the initial public hearing. The failure of delivery of the notice shall not invalidate any zoning ordinance. Council may, under the provisions of subsection (b) of this section, provide for this procedure and for additional postings to be completed prior to review by the Planning Commission. Such notices or postings shall be deemed to be constructive notice to the public.
   (b)   Review procedures. Council shall, by ordinance or resolution, establish procedures for review of ordinances establishing, amending, revising, changing or repealing zoning classifications, districts, uses, maps or other regulations. Such procedures shall include review by the Planning Commission.
   (c)   Voting requirements. The following voting requirements shall apply to ordinances amending, revising, changing or repealing provisions of the planning and zoning code or zoning districts:
      (1)   An affirmative vote of at least three-fourths of the members of Council shall be necessary to pass a zoning ordinance which differs from the written recommendations of the Planning Commission.
      (2)   In no event shall an ordinance be considered as having passed unless it receives at least a majority vote of the members of Council.
(Amended 11-7-17.)
SECTION 4.12 ADOPTION OF TECHNICAL CODES.
   (a)   Council may, by ordinance or resolution, adopt standard ordinances and codes prepared by the State or any department, board or other agency or subdivision of the State, or any standard or model ordinance or code prepared and promulgated by a public or private organization, including but not limited to codes and regulations pertaining to fire, fire hazards, fire prevention, plumbing code, electrical code, building code, refrigeration machinery code, piping code, boiler code, heating code, air conditioning code, housing code, and such other matters as the Council may determine to be appropriate for adoption by reference, by incorporation by reference.
   (b)   The ordinance or resolution adopting any such standard ordinance or code shall make reference to the date and source of such standard ordinance or code without reproducing the same at length in the ordinance. In such cases, publication of the standard ordinance or code shall not be required, but at least one copy of such code shall be kept at all times in the office of the Clerk of Council and available for reference by interested persons. If the standard ordinance or code is amended after its adoption by reference by the Council, the Council may adopt the amendment or change by incorporation by reference under the same procedure as is established herein for the adoption of the original standard ordinance or code.
