The Borough Council reserves the right to amend, change, modify or repeal any regulations, limitations and restrictions of this chapter, including the Zoning Map. No such amendment, change, modification or repeal shall be adopted until after a public hearing is held thereon by the Borough Council at which parties in interest and citizens shall have an opportunity to be heard.
