A. Applications for any change of district boundaries or classifications
or property as shown on the Zoning Map and for regulation amendments
shall be submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission at its public
office upon such forms and all shall be accompanied by such data and
information as may be prescribe for that purpose by the Commission
so as to assure the fullest practicable presentation of facts for
the permanent record. Such data shall include in any event a plat
or map drawn to a scale of not less than two hundred (200) feet to
the inch showing the land in question, its location, the length and
location of each boundary thereof, the location of properties within
three hundred (300) feet of such land. Each such application shall
be verified by at least one (1) of the owners or lessees of property
within the area proposed to be reclassified attesting to the truth
and correctness of all facts and information presented with the application.
Applications for amendments or district changes initiated by the Commission
itself shall be accompanied by its own motion pertaining to such proposed
amendment.
B. List Of Property Owners. Any person or persons desiring a change
in the zoning classification of property shall file with the application
for such change a statement giving the names and addresses of the
owners of all properties lying within three hundred (300) feet of
any part of the exterior boundaries of the premises the zoning classification
of which is proposed to be changed.
[R.O. 2012 § 405.340; Ord. No.
764 Art. XI § 113, 3-1-1976]
Before submitting its recommendations to the Board of Aldermen,
the Planning and Zoning Commission shall be given by one (1) publication
in a newspaper of general circulation in the City at least fifteen

[R.O. 2012 § 405.350; Ord. No.
764 Art. XI § 113.1, 3-1-1976]
The Commission may recommend that the application be granted
as requested or it may recommend a modification of the zoning amendment
requested in the application or it may recommend that the application
be denied. These recommendations shall then be certified to the Board
of Aldermen.
[R.O. 2012 § 405.360; Ord. No.
764 Art. XI § 114, 3-1-1976]
After receiving from the Commission the certification of said
recommendations on the proposed amendment of supplement and before
adoption of such amendment, the Board of Aldermen 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.
[R.O. 2012 § 405.370; Ord. No.
764 Art. XI § 114.1, 3-1-1976]
Following such hearing and after reviewing the recommendations
of the Commission thereon, the Board of Aldermen shall consider such
recommendations and vote on the passage of the proposed amendment
to the text of the ordinance or the Zoning Map. The Board of Aldermen
may overrule the recommendations of the Commission by three-fourths
(3/4) vote of the full membership of the Board of Aldermen.
[R.O. 2012 § 405.380; Ord. No.
764 Art. XI § 115, 3-1-1976]
Whenever the Board of Aldermen 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
become non-conforming under the contemplated redistricting plan.
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 and 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 of Aldermen. The provisions of Section 89.050,
RSMo., relative to public hearing and official notice shall apply
equally to all changes or amendments.
