All amendments to this chapter shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Town Law applicable thereto.

Any proposed amendment shall be submitted on a petition to be furnished by the Town and accompanied by an application fee as listed on the Standard Schedule of Fees, no part of which shall be refundable. Any proposed amendment shall be submitted to the Town Planning Board for report and recommendation prior to final action thereon by the Town Board.

Before approving any amendment of the Zoning Map so as to create a new or enlarged C District, the Town Board may require the submittal of development plans, including the location and character of proposed structures and conditions of use for the premises concerned, and in approving any such amendment, the Town Board may specify that no building permit or certificate of occupancy may be issued with respect to said premises under the amended district classification except in accordance with said plans and conditions of use as submitted or as revised to meet the requirements of the Town Board in furthering the purposes of this chapter.

Where an amendment to the Zoning Map involves a reclassification from one district to another, the Town Board may require the petitioner to submit a development plan showing the extent, location and character of the proposed structures and uses and may require such plan to be modified, revised or amended as it may be deemed for the best interests of the Town and of the neighborhood.

The Town Board is hereby empowered to authorize the proposed amendment after a hearing duly held according to law on the conditions that no building or use permits shall be issued except in accordance with the development plan as approved and that if the development, as approved, has not been commenced within such time as may be fixed by the Town Board and/or completed within such further time as may be fixed by said Board, such amendment and approval shall be void, and the zoning classification shall revert automatically and without further action to that which it was when the petition was filed.
