[CC 1974 §43.600]
Whenever the public necessity, convenience, general welfare
or good zoning practice require, the Board of Aldermen may by ordinance,
after recommendation thereon by the City Planning Commission and subject
to the procedure provided in this Article, amend, supplement or change
the regulations, district boundaries or classifications of property
now or hereafter established by this Chapter or amendments thereof.
It shall be the duty of the Planning Commission to submit its recommendations
regarding all applications or proposals for amendments or supplements.
An amendment; supplement, reclassification or change may be initiated
by the Commission on its own motion or by a verified application of
one (1) or more of the owners or lessees of property within the area
proposed to be changed or affected by this Chapter.
[CC 1974 §43.630; Ord. No. 3587 §§1 — 2, 4-20-1992]
A. After
receiving from the Commission the certification of said recommendations
on the proposed amendment of supplement and before adoption of such
amendment, the Board shall hold a public hearing thereon at least
fifteen (15) days' notice of the time and place of which shall be
given by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the
City.
B. Board — Final Action. Following such hearing and after reviewing the recommendations of the Commission thereon, the Board shall consider such recommendations and vote on the passage of the proposed amendment to the text of the ordinance or the Zoning Map. In case, however, of a protest against such change duly signed and acknowledged by the owners of thirty percent (30%) or more, either of the areas of the land (exclusive of streets and alleys) included in such proposed change or within an area determined by lines drawn parallel to and one hundred eighty-five (185) feet distant from the boundaries of the district proposed to be changed, such amendment shall not become effective except by the favorable vote of two-thirds (2/3) of all the members of the Board. The provisions of the Sections
405.330 and
405.340 relative to public hearings and official notice shall apply equally to all changes or amendments.
[CC 1974 §43.640]
Whenever the Board has taken under advisement a change or amendment
of the Zoning Map from a less restricted district to a more restricted
district classification, as evidenced by resolution of record, no
zoning certificate or building permit shall be issued within sixty
(60) days from the date of such resolution which would authorize the
construction of a building or the establishment of a use which would
become non-conforming under the contemplated redistricting plan.
