A proposed amendment, supplement, change or repeal may be originated by the Council, the Planning Commission or the owner of the effected property. All such proposals except those originating with the Planning Commission shall be referred to that Board for a recommendation thereon. Proposals originating by Council shall be referred to the Planning Commission by resolution stating the date, not less than sixty days from the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Commission, as to when the Planning Commission recommendation is required. Upon its request, the Planning Commission shall be granted a thirty day extension by which its recommendation shall be due. At its discretion, Council May, upon satisfactory petition by the Planning Commission, grant a further extension. The Council shall take no final action on any amendment, supplement, change or repeal until it has received and studied the recommendation of the Planning Commission; provided, however, if the Planning Commission shall fail to forward its recommendation on any Council initiated proposal within the time specified by the resolution proposing the same, then Council may act thereon as though it had received a negative recommendation from the Planning Commission.
The Planning Commission shall study the proposed amendment, supplement, change or repeal. If the Planning Commission decides the proposal has merit it shall hold a public hearing thereon. At least ten (10) days notice of the time and place of such hearing shall be mailed to the petitioner, and all property owners within three (300) hundred feet of the property included in petitions for rezoning. Public notices of hearings on proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance shall be posted in five (5) public places as determined by Council. The Planning Commission shall make a report of its findings and a recommendation to the Council.
