2. Any person or persons; provided, that an application for rezoning is accompanied by a petition favoring the proposed rezoning signed by the owner or owners of at least 51 percent of the property within the area proposed to be rezoned.

The commission shall recommend to the council one of the following actions:
1. Approve the rezoning request as submitted;
