Amendments, states the following: 57 An amendment to a zoning ordinance may be initiated by the governing body, the 58 planning agency, or by petition of affected property owners as defined in the 59 zoning ordinance. An amendment not initiated by the planning agency shall be 60 referred to the planning agency, if there is one, for study and report and may not 61 be acted upon by the governing body until it has received the recommendation of 62 the planning agency on the proposed amendment or until 60 days have elapsed 63 from the date of reference of the amendment without a report by the planning 64 agency. 65 2.0SR/R TAFF EVIEWECOMMENDATION 66 The Planning Division, after consulting with the City Attorney, reviewed the 67 current language in the Purpose statement and State Statutes and crafted an 68 amendment that clarifies those individuals and or governmental entities that are 69 permitted to initiate zoning test and/or map amendments.
