The Village Board of Trustees may, from time to time, on its own motion, on petition of any person or persons in interest, or on initial recommendation of the Board of Zoning Appeals, amend, supplement or repeal the regulations and provisions of this code.

Any such proposed amendment or change, when initiated by the Village Board of Trustees or by individual petition, shall be referred to the Zoning Board of Appeals for an advisory report thereon. When a proposed amendment or change is initiated by the Zoning Board of Appeals, said advisory report shall accompany the initial recommendation of the Board of Zoning Appeals.

Before giving an advisory report or an initial recommendation on any proposed amendment, the Board of Zoning Appeals shall first conduct a public hearing thereon, the date and place of which shall be fixed in advance by the Board of Zoning Appeals at any regular or special meeting. Notice of the time and date of such hearing and a brief summary or explanation of the subject matter of the hearing shall be given by publishing one notice thereof in a newspaper of general circulation in the Village, such publication to be made not more than 30 days nor less than 15 days prior to the public hearing. Any notice required by this section need not include a metes-and-bounds legal description, provided that the notice includes: 1) the common street address or addresses and 2) the property index number ("PIN") or numbers of all the parcels of real property contained in the affected area.

After receiving the advisory report from the Board of Zoning Appeals and before acting on any proposed amendment, the Village Board of Trustees shall hold a public hearing on the proposed amendment at the next regular meeting of the Village Board of Trustees, unless the Village Board of Trustees shall otherwise specifically order that such hearing by it be held at a subsequent regular or special meeting. Notice of the time and place of the public hearing before the Village Board of Trustees shall be made not more than 30 days nor less than 15 days prior to the hearing in a newspaper of general circulation in the Village. Any notice required by this section need not include a metes-and-bounds legal description, provided that the notice includes: 1) the common street address or addresses and 2) the property index number ("PIN") or numbers of all the parcels of real property contained in the affected area.

Fees for individual applications for rezoning of lands or applications for any other proposed change shall be set from time to time by the Board of Trustees by resolution. In any case, the applicant must reimburse the Village for the cost of notice required in § 360-60C prior to the date of the hearing.
