Friona City Zoning Code

The city council may from time to time amend, supplement, or change by ordinance the boundaries of the districts or the regulations herein established.

Before taking action on any proposed amendment, supplement, or change, the city council shall submit the same to the zoning commission for its recommendation and report.

A public hearing shall be held by the city council before adopting any proposed amendment, supplement or change. Notice of such hearing shall be given by publishing the same three (3) times in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Friona, stating the time and place of such hearing which time shall be not earlier than fifteen (15) days from the first date of such publication.

Unless such proposed amendment, supplement, or change has been approved by the zoning commission or if a protest against such proposed amendment, supplement or change has been filed with the city clerk duly signed and acknowledged by the owners of twenty percent (20%) or more either of the area of the lots included in such proposed change or those immediately adjacent on the rear thereof extending two hundred feet (200') therefrom or of those directly opposite thereto extending two hundred feet (200') from the street frontage of such opposite lots, such amendment shall not become effective except by a favorable vote of two-thirds (2/3) of all members of the city council.
