Any person seeking an amendment of this Code or Zoning Map shall submit to the Zoning Administrator a written petition designating the change desired and the reasons therefore, and shall pay a filing fee in an amount as may be set by resolution of the County Commission. 

Upon receipt of the petition and the payment of the filing fee, not less than twenty one (21) days prior to the next regular meeting of the Planning Commission, the Zoning Administrator shall place the request on the agenda of the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Commission who shall consider the request and shall certify its recommendations to the County Commission with respect to the request within thirty (30) days from the meeting. Failure on the part of the Planning Commission to certify its recommendations to the County Commission within said thirty (30) day period, shall be deemed to constitute a recommendation of approval unless a longer period is granted by the County Commission.

The fee required herein shall not be returned to the applicant. The Planning Commission, County Commission or Zoning Administrator may also initiate amendments to this Code without the payment of said fee.
