The City Council may from time to time amend, supplement or change by ordinance the boundaries of the districts or the regulations herein established as provided by the statutes of the State of Texas.

Before taking action on any proposed amendment, supplement or change the City Council shall hold a public hearing on any application for any amendment or change. When any such amendment or change relates to a change in classification or boundary of a zoning district, written notice of public hearing before the City Council on the proposed amendment or change shall be sent to all owners of real property lying within two hundred feet (200') of the property on which the change is requested. Such notice shall be given not less than thirty (30) days before the date set for hearing by posting such notice, properly addressed and postage paid, to each taxpayer as the ownership appears on the last approved tax roll.

When any such amendment relates to a change of a zoning regulation or to the text of this ordinance not affecting specific property, notice of the public hearing of the City Council shall be given by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the City without the necessity of notifying property owners by mail. Such notice shall state the time and place of such hearing and the nature of the subject to be considered, which time shall not be earlier than fifteen (15) days from the date of publication.

The fees for processing an application for rezoning shall be set by resolution of the City Council.

A public hearing shall be held by the governing body before adopting any proposed amendment, supplement or change. Notice of such hearing shall be given by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the City stating the time and place of such hearing, which time shall not be earlier than fifteen (15) days from the date of publication.

If a protest against such proposed amendment, supplement or change has been filed, duly signed and acknowledged by the owners of twenty (20%) percent or more, either of the area of the lots included in such a proposed change or those immediately adjacent in the rear thereof extending two hundred (200') feet therefrom or of those directly opposite thereto extending two hundred (200') feet from the street frontage of such opposite lots, such amendment shall not become effective except by a four-fifths vote of the City Council.

No proposed amendment, supplement, change or repeal of any section of this ordinance, which has been legally rejected by the City Council shall be again considered by the City Council, nor shall any appeal, petition or other application, by an appellant, be heard by City Council prior to the expiration of six (6) months from the date of the original action by the City Council.
