The City Council, after receiving a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission or hearing examiner, may amend, by ordinance, the boundaries of the zoning district classifications of lands in accordance with applicable provisions of Idaho Code and this title. Amendments to the zoning map should generally be in accordance with goals and policies of the Kellogg Comprehensive Plan.

   A.   Any application for a zoning map amendment or to apply zoning upon annexation shall include the information required by the application forms supplied by the Administrator, the information required by State law and information otherwise required by this title or by the Administrator, commission, hearing examiner, or City Council. In addition to information required by the application form, an application to change zoning district boundaries shall provide a description of the amendment or zoning requested along with a statement that describes the rationale for the request, how it would better implement the Comprehensive Plan, and the public purpose that would be achieved by amendment of the zoning map. All applications for zoning map amendments or zoning upon annexation shall be submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission or to the designated hearing examiner, which shall recommend action to the City Council who may adopt, modify, or reject the proposed amendment.

   B.   Upon granting or denying an application to amend the zoning map, the City Council shall explain its rationale for doing so, making reference to ordinance standards and comprehensive plan policies relied upon in evaluating the application and stating the reasons for approval or denial. An amendment, if approved, shall be implemented by the passage of an ordinance or as otherwise required by law. (Ord. 595, 6-13-2018)

The City Council may amend or repeal the regulations, restrictions and/or zoning classifications that are made applicable by this title. Proposals to change the text of land use regulations (zoning ordinance) shall follow the procedures set forth in the Local Land Use Planning Act. Such proposals may be initiated by the City Council, by the Planning and Zoning Commission or by a petition from a resident or landowner within the City. A non-site-specific amendment to the text of the zoning ordinance is a legislative action subject to procedural standards applicable to legislative action. In the interest of procedural economy, any request to amend the text of the zoning ordinance, except one that originates from the City Council or Planning and Zoning Commission, shall first be referred to the City Council before initiating the hearing procedure. If the City Council determines, based upon the face of a request for amendment transmitted to it, that it does not wish to entertain a particular request, the request may be returned to the requestor and shall not move forward unless the party proposing the request agrees to pre-pay all estimated costs of processing the request to its conclusion. In such instance any procedural time limits established by local law shall be deemed suspended and the request shall be considered as time allows.

   A.   The City Council, after receiving a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission or hearing examiner, may amend, by ordinance, the text of this title in accordance with applicable provisions of Idaho Code and the City's Comprehensive Plan.

   B.   Any application for a zoning ordinance text amendment shall address the questions posed by the application forms supplied by the Administrator, the information required by State law and information otherwise required by this title or by the Administrator, commission, hearing examiner, or City Council. In addition to information required by the application form, an application to change the text of the zoning ordinance shall provide a description of the amendment requested along with a statement that describes the rationale for the request, the proposed text of the amendment, how it would better implement the Comprehensive Plan, and the public purpose that would be achieved by amendment of the zoning ordinance. All applications for zoning ordinance text amendments shall be submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission which shall recommend action to the City Council, who may adopt, modify, or reject the proposed amendment. An amendment, if approved, shall be implemented by the passage of an ordinance. A non-site-specific amendment of the text of the zoning ordinance is a legislative act committed to the sound discretion of the City Council. (Ord. 595, 6-13-2018)
