An application for a map amendment affecting the same property shall not be submitted more than once every 12 months provided; however, that mayor and council may approve a reduction in the waiting period to no less than six months in extenuating circumstances. The waiting period shall be measured from the date of action by mayor and council either approving or denying such a rezoning application. This provision shall not apply to properties affected by an amendment filed by the council, nor shall zoning classifications adopted pursuant to an annexation of property into the city be considered zoning amendments under this section.
