The borough council may, from time to time, on its own motion or on petition, after public notice and hearing, amend, supplement or change the regulations and zones herein established.

(Ord. 820 § 10.100, 1963)

Whenever the owners of fifty percent or more of the frontage in any zone or part thereof shall present a petition duly signed and acknowledged to the borough council, requesting an amendment, supplement, change or repeal of the regulations prescribed for such zone or such part thereof, it shall be the duty of the council to vote upon said petition within ninety days after the filing of the same by the petitioners with the borough clerk. If, however, a protest against such amendment, supplement or change be presented, duly signed and acknowledged by the owners of twenty percent or more of any frontage proposed to be altered, or by the owners of twenty percent of the frontage immediately in the rear thereof, or by the owners of twenty percent of the frontage directly opposite the frontage proposed to be altered, such amendment shall not be passed except by a three-fourths vote of the council. If any area is hereafter transferred to another zone by a change in zone boundaries by an amendment, as above provided, the provisions of this title in regard to buildings or premises existing at the time of the passage of the ordinance codified in this title shall apply to buildings or premises existing at the time of the passage of such amendment in such transferred area. Whenever owners of twenty percent or more of either the area of the lot or land in any zone or part thereof shall present a petition duly signed and acknowledged to the borough council, requesting an amendment, supplement, change or repeal of the regulations proscribed for such zone or such part thereof, it shall be the duty of the council to vote upon said petition within ninety days after filing of the same by the petitioners with the borough clerk. Such amendment shall not be passed except by a two-thirds favorable vote of the council. If any area is hereafter transferred to another zone by a change in zone boundaries by an amendment, as above provided, the provisions of this title in regard to buildings or premises existing at the time of the passage of the ordinance codified in this title shall apply to buildings or premises existing at the time of the passage of such amendment in such transferred area.
