The city council, after review of the recommendation of the planning commission, may affirm, reverse, alter or remand for further review and consideration any recommendation made by the planning commission.
Any person adversely affected by a decision of the city council amending (a) the number, shape, boundaries or area of any zoning district; (b) any regulation of or within the zoning district; or (c) any other provision of a land use ordinance, may file a petition for review of such decision in the district court within 30 days after the city council’s decision is final.
Disapproval by the city council of an application to amend the zoning map shall preclude the filing of another application to amend the zoning map to reclassify the same parcel of property, or any portion thereof, to the same zone classification, or, if the application is for a commercial classification, to the same or any other commercial classification, within one year after the date of the final disapproval of the application unless the planning commission finds that there has been a substantial change in the circumstances or sufficient new evidence since the disapproval of the application to merit consideration of a second application within the one-year time period.
The city council may amend the general plan. A proposed amendment to the general plan shall not be made or become effective unless it is first presented to the planning commission and, before making its recommendation concerning the proposed amendment, the planning commission holds a public hearing on the proposed amendment preceded by all required public notice. The planning commission thereafter shall forward the proposed amendment and its recommendation concerning it to the city council.
After the planning commission review, public hearing and recommendation as provided in Section 19.90.070, the city council may adopt the general plan amendment as proposed; modify the proposed amendment and adopt it or reject it as modified; or reject the proposed amendment.
The planning commission may establish policies and procedures whereunder pending applications for amendments to the general plan not initiated by the city will be considered by the planning commission only periodically, provided that consideration by the planning commission of such pending applications occurs no more than three times annually at intervals of not less than four months. Any such policies and procedures shall be inapplicable to applications for amendments to the general plan initiated by the city, and the planning commission promptly shall consider any city-initiated proposal to amend the general plan.
Disapproval of an application to amend the city’s general plan not initiated by the city shall preclude the filing of another application to amend the general plan text in the same or similar manner or to amend the general plan map for any parcel of property or portion thereof to the same land use designation within one year of the date of the final disapproval of the application unless the city council finds that there has been a substantial change in the circumstances or other significant reasons since the disapproval of the application to merit consideration of a second application within the one year time period.
