Whenever the board of councilmen deems it to be in the public interest, this title may be amended by changing the boundaries of the districts, or by changing any of its provisions, after giving notice in a local newspaper of general circulation a minimum of ten (10) calendar days prior to a public hearing on the proposed amendment. (Ord. 110, 1-22-1980)

   A.   An amendment may be initiated by a passed motion of the board of councilmen or of the planning commission, or in the case of a change in the district boundaries, by an application of a property owner or owners.

   B.   In the event a property owner files the application for an amendment, a fee for processing the application for the amendment shall be paid to the city in the amount of seventy five dollars ($75.00). (Ord. 153, 5-9-1989)

Upon passage of a motion or upon receipt of an application in proper form for a change in district boundaries, the proposal shall be set for public hearing before the planning commission. Notice of the time and place of the hearing shall be given as required by the chapter 278 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. The notice shall make known the nature and the extent of the proposed amendment.

After the conclusion of the hearing on a proposed amendment, the planning commission shall make a report and recommendation to the board of councilmen with respect to the same, and shall file with the city clerk an attested copy thereof. (Ord. 110, 1-22-1980)

Upon receipt of the report of the planning commission on a proposed amendment, the board of councilmen shall set the matter for public hearing after notice thereof is given as required by law.
