The purpose of a zone map amendment is to provide an opportunity for individual property owners to change site-specific zone designations on the official City of Cheney Zoning Map. A zone map amendment allows new or different land use which conforms with the Cheney Comprehensive Plan.

(Ord. No. U-97, § 245(21.56.010), 1-27-2009)

Approval of the zone map amendment will be approved if the following criteria are met:

(1)

The zone map amendment is response to conditions that have changed since the existing zoning designation was assigned. Changed conditions may include public opinion, land use patterns, or the site itself.

(2)

The zone map amendment has a substantial relationship to the public health, safety, morals or welfare of the community.

(3)

The zone map amendment conforms to the Cheney Comprehensive Plan.

(Ord. No. U-97, § 245(21.56.020), 1-27-2009)

Zone map amendments reviews will follow those procedures for land use reviews in chapter 23.030.

(Ord. No. V-28, § 12, 11-24-2009; Ord. No. U-97, § 245(21.56.030), 1-27-2009)

Only one zone map amendment may be requested within a 12-month period. However, if the first amendment is denied, an application for an alternative zone may be submitted within the 12-month period.

(Ord. No. U-97, § 245(21.56.040), 1-27-2009)
