§ 250-53. Amendment.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    The governing body may from time to time amend or supplement the regulations and districts fixed by any zoning ordinance adopted pursuant to this Act. Proposed changes may be suggested by the governing body, by the planning commission, by the hearing examiner, or by petition of the owners of 50 percent or more of the area involved in the proposed change. In the latter case, the petitioner or petitioners may be required to assume the cost of public notice and other costs incidental to the hearings.

    (b)

    The planning commission, regardless of the source of the proposal for change, shall hold a public hearing or hearings thereon, with due public notice, and submit its recommendation on the proposed change to the governing body, except that the county planning commission may only render recommendations for those proposed changes which pertain to the county and which would change the actual list of permitted, conditional, or prohibited uses within a zoning category, or otherwise would alter or amend provisions of the county's codified land development regulations. The governing body shall hold a public hearing or hearings thereon, and shall act on the recommendation. No change in the zoning ordinance shall become effective except by an affirmative vote of four-fifths of the full membership of the governing body.
