Planning Commission. The Planning Commission will review the
request and make a recommendation to the City Council on its merit
and whether it can be accommodated in Planning Commission work
pragrams . Upon review of the Planning Commission recommendation,
the City Council, if it believes the request is meritorious and that
it can be accommodated within the work schedule of the Planning
Commission, will accept the petition for private comprehensive plan

ORDINANCE NO. 4244
2 . Concurrent Rezone Process . When a rezone request is
to follow immediately after the private comprehensive plan change,
and the rezone is ten acres or greater in size or is to be zoned to
any designation except single-family residential, and there are only
one or two parties requesting the rezones, then the City Council
shall retain jurisdiction to hear the proposed private comprehensive
plan amendment and proposed rezone at the same time, or to schedule
a rezone after adoption of the private comprehensive plan change, or
refer the rezone to the Hearing Examiner should the Council so
desire. Should the City Council desire to hear the proposed private
comprehensive plan change and the proposed rezone at the same time,
then it will accept the recommendation for private comprehensive
plan change from the Planning Commission and direct the staff to
negotiate a contract rezone with the applicant. Once informed by
the staff that the contract rezone has been negotiated to the
staff's satisfaction, then the City Council shall establish a joint
public hearing to consider the private comprehensive plan change and
the proposed rezone.
3 . Subsequent Rezone Process . In those instances in
which there is a pending private comprehensive plan change and the
rezone is to be processed separately with a time separation of at
least four months from the City Council action on the private
comprehensive plan amendment to the public hearings on the rezone,
or the rezone is small, or the property is proposed to be rezoned to
the R-1 zone, or in those instances in which there are a number of
applicants for rezones, then the City Council shall receive the
recommendation from the Planning Commission, shall act upon the
2
4RDINANCE NO. 4244
recommendation from the Planning Commission, and shall refer the
processing of any rezone application to the administration. The
applicant will have the burden and duty of applying for and pursuing
the rezone. The rezone hearing shall be held in front of the
Hearing Examiner under the procedures and rules of the Hearing
Examiner.
SECTION II. This ordinance shall be effective upon its
passage, approval, and thirty days after publication.
