The Town Council shall not consider a proposed amendment to the zoning map if the amendment requests a change to the same zoning classification for the same lot, parcel or portion thereof, for a period of one (1) year from the date of fina1 determination of the prior request unless the Planning Commission recommends to the Town Council that the reconsideration be given, after the Planning Commission has found that either: (a) there has been a substantial change in the character of the area; or (b) evidence or factors or conditions exist which were not considered by the Planning Commission or the Town Council in previous deliberations which might substantially alter the basis upon which the previous determination was reached.
