(a) Within thirty days after completion of the required public hearing, the City Development Commission shall make a recommendation to Council concerning the
proposed amendment or district change.
(b) As a general policy, the Commission shall not recommend favorably on any application for district change which would result in a total contiguous area of less than the minimum acreage specified in Section 1139.03(d). In addition, any amendment for district change shall not receive a favorable recommendation unless one or more of the following conditions exist:
(1) There has been a substantial change in area conditions.
(2) There is a legitimate requirement for additional land area for the particular zoning district.
(3) There is indicated a manifest error in the original zoning designations.
(4) The change is in accordance with, and in more appropriate conformance to, the Willard Comprehensive Development Plan.
(c) In making its recommendation, the Commission may recommend that the amendment be approved as proposed, or it may recommend approval with modification or it may recommend that the amendment be not approved. These recommendations shall then be certified to Council.
