§ 153.218 TIME LIMIT FOR HEARING A ZONING MAP AMENDMENT.
   (A)   The Planning Commission shall not consider a parcel of land, or any portion thereof, for zoning map amendment, including amendment of binding elements of development, until 12 consecutive months shall have elapsed from any final action as defined in this chapter upon any application for such zoning map amendment.
   (B)   The Planning Commission as a condition to the granting of any zoning map amendment, shall require that substantial construction be initiated within five years of the date of any final action upon the zoning map amendment as defined in this chapter. If such construction is not initiated within the said five-year period, the Planning Commission shall initiate an application to revert the zoning map designation to its previous designation. Any action to revert the zoning map amendment to its previous zoning classification which originates as a result of the provisions of this section of the subchapter, shall be taken in the same manner as any other zoning map amendment. Failure of the Planning Commission to commence action to revert the zoning map classification immediately after five years shall not prevent the Commission from taking such action at a later date.
