Filing of petition. A petition to amend, change or supplement the text of this chapter or any zoning district as designated on the Zoning Map established herein shall be filed with the Village Clerk, along with a filing fee as set by Village Board of Trustee resolution, on forms obtained from his/her office and shall be transmitted by the Clerk to the Village Board of Trustees.

Referral to Planning Board. Each proposed amendment, except those initiated by the Village Planning Board, shall be referred to the Village Planning Board for an advisory report prior to the public hearing on said zoning change. In reporting, the Village Planning Board shall fully state its reasons for recommending or opposing the adoption of such proposed amendment and, if it shall recommend adoption, shall describe any changes in conditions which it believes make the amendment desirable and shall state whether such amendment is in harmony with a Comprehensive Plan for land use in the Village.

Rehearing on petition. The disposition of a petition for amendment by the Village Board of Trustees shall be final, and disapproval or denial of the proposed amendment shall void the petition. No new petition for an amendment which has been previously denied by the Village Board of Trustees shall be considered by it, and no public hearing shall be held on such amendment, within a period of one year from the date of such previous denial, unless the Planning Board shall find that there have been substantial changes in the situation which would merit a rehearing and shall state the same, in writing, to the Village Clerk before he/she accepts a reapplication on this petition.
