All proposed amendments, supplements or changes originating by petition,
or by motion of the Village Board, shall be referred to the Village Planning
Board for a report and recommendation thereon. The Village Planning Board
shall submit its report within 30 days after receiving such referral. Failure
of the Planning Board to report within the required time may be deemed to
be approval of the proposed amendment.
Before any amendment, supplement or change in the regulations or district
boundaries, there shall be a public notice and hearing thereon as provided
by law. The notice of hearing shall be published in the official newspaper
at least 10 days prior to the hearing. Such hearing may be held by the Village
Board, by a committee of the Board, or by the Planning Board on request of
the Village Board.
After the public hearing, and referral to and report by the Planning Board, a majority vote of the members of the Village Board shall be required to amend this chapter, except as described in §
145-39, Protest petition.
If a protest against a proposed amendment, supplement or change is presented
to the Village Board, duly signed and acknowledged by the owners of 20% or
more of the area of the land included in such proposed change, or by the owners
of 20% or more of the land immediately adjacent extending 100 feet therefrom,
or by the owners of 20% or more of the land directly opposite thereto extending
100 feet from the street frontage of such opposite land, such amendment shall
not be passed except by the favorable vote of 3/4 of the Village Board.
