In the event that a petition for a zone change or an ordinance amendment is denied by the city council, or is withdrawn after the planning commission hearing, the planning commission shall not consider the petition, or any other petition for the same zone change or amendment of this title as it applies to the same property described in the original petition, or any part thereof, within a period of one year from the date of such denial action, unless the conditions upon which the original denial was based have substantially changed.
For this section, a “substantial change” in a request shall mean a substantial reduction in density, and/or land area involved, a change in the proposed use, such as residential rather than commercial, or other factors which, in the opinion of the planning commission, clearly constitute a significant change in a zone change request. (Ord. 2023-05 § 1: Ord. 97-06 § 1-22)
