[CC 1990 §20-320; Ord. No. 341, 5-9-2001]
The Board of Aldermen may, from time to time, on its own motion
or on petition, amend, supplement, change, modify, or repeal by ordinance
the boundaries of districts or regulations or restrictions herein
established. Any proposed amendment, supplement, change, modification
or repeal shall first be submitted to the City Planning Commission
for its recommendations and report. If the City Planning Commission
makes no report within thirty (30) days, it shall be considered to
have made a report approving the proposed amendment, supplement, modification
or change. Upon the filing of the recommendations and report by the
City Planning Commission with respect to any proposed amendment, supplement,
change, modification or repeal, the Board of Aldermen shall proceed
to hold a public hearing in relation thereto, giving at least fifteen
(15) days' notice of the time and place of such hearing, which notice
shall be published in a paper located in the City of Belle having
a general circulation in the City of Belle.
Such regulations, restrictions, and boundaries may from time
to time be amended, supplemented, changed, modified or repealed. 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 (⅔) of
all the members of the Board of Aldermen. The provisions of Section
89.050, RSMo., relative to public hearing and official notice shall
apply equally to all changes or amendments.
