ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I certify that the above information is correct and complete to the best of my ability and that I am now or will be fully prepared to present the above proposal at the Zoning Commission hearing thereon.

Application must be submitted at least 15 days before the Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting.

The Planning and Zoning Commission either turns down the request or will call a Public Hearing. If a favorable decision at the Public Hearing, the City Council will then hold a Public Hearing. This means that rezoning could take from 60 to 75 days to complete.

I reserve the right to withdraw this proposal at any time, except during notice periods, upon written request filed with the Planning Department, and such withdrawal shall immediately stop all proceedings thereon; provided, however, withdrawal filed at any time after the giving of notice of the Zoning Commission's hearing shall constitute a denial by the Commission and City Council. I understand that the filing fee is not refundable upon withdrawal of proposal.

In the event the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends against the proposed supplement, change, modification or repeal, the proponent of such proposed amendment, supplement, change, modification or repeal may appeal to the City Council within ten days from the date of the Planning and Zoning Commission held its public hearing if: (a) There exists evidence that the Planning and Zoning Commission was unduly prejudiced against the proposed amendment, supplement, change, modification or repeal; or (b) there exists new, relevant and substantial evidence with regard to the proposed supplement, change, modification or repeal which was not available for presentation to the Planning and Zoning Commission at the public hearing. Such appeal shall be in writing and sworn to by the proponent.

The City Council may: (a) Elect to set a public hearing on said appeal and at least 15 days' notice of the time and place shall be published in an official paper or paper of general circulation in the City or (b) Elect to return such matter to the Planning and Zoning Commission for the rehearing of the proponent's request for the amendment, supplement, change, modification or repeal.

A proposal denied by the City Council shall not be received nor filed as a new request until six months have elapsed from the date the original proposal was denied by the City Council.

I/We certify that the $200.00 fee to cover the cost of this rezoning application has been paid to the City of Alice on ________, 19___.
