The City Council may from time to time on its own motion or on petition or on recommendation of the Planning Commission, after public notice and hearing as provided by law, amend, supplement, abridge, modify or repeal the boundaries or regulations herein or subsequently established, after submitting the same to the City Planning Commission for its recommendation and report.

In case, however, of a protest against such change duly signed and acknowledged by the owners of twenty percent or more of the frontage proposed to be changed or of the frontage immediately in the rear thereof or directly opposite thereto, such amendment shall not be passed except by a two-thirds vote of all members of the City Council including the Mayor.

(Ord. 213, § 2501, 1969)

After any proposed change or amendment to the boundaries or regulations established under Ordinance Nos. 213 and 238 has been considered and acted upon by the Planning Commission or by the City Council, any additional proposed change or amendment to said property affected by the prior action shall not be re-submitted to the Planning Commission or City Council of the City for further consideration until such time as one year has elapsed from the date of the action on such proposed change or amendment to said property by the Planning Commission or the City Council. This in no way limits the right of the landowner to appeal the action of the Planning Commission to the City Council. For purposes of this section, "said property affected by the prior action" shall mean any tract of land being considered for a change or amendment under Ordinances 213 and 238 of which at least fifty percent (50%) of that land was included in a tract of land that had been up for said change or amendment within the past twelve (12) months before the Planning Commission or the City Council. Once the Planning Commission has made its recommendation as to the approval or denial of the landowner's request, the Planning Commission shall not hear any additional requests, reconsiderations, etc. in regard to that tract for a one-year period of time.
