B. Minor Changes: The Community Development Department may approve such minor changes upon 2759 review by the Development Review Committee to ensure that the proposed changes neither cause any 2760 aspect of the project to fail to comply with applicable Code requirements nor materially change any 2761 important representations made to the City and surrounding residents during the original review and 2762 approval process. 2763 C. Major Changes: If the Development Review Committee determines that a proposed change cannot be 2764 considered as a minor change, such change may be considered either as an amendment to the original 2765 plan or as a new proposal; in either case, the applicant shall follow the process established in this Title 2766 for seeking a new approval of the appropriate type. 2767 1009.06: ZONING CHANGES 2768 A.

The purpose of the zoning change review process is to consider such 2772 changes for approval where they would be consistent with the guidance and intent of the 2773 Comprehensive Plan and would not be injurious to the public health, safety, and general welfare. 2774 B. Open House Meeting: Prior to submitting an application for a proposed zoning map change, an 2775 applicant shall hold a community open house meeting as described in Section 1009.07 of this Title. 2776 C. Applications: The owner of property on which a zoning change is proposed shall file an application 2777 for approval of the zoning change by paying the fee set forth in Chapter 314 of this Code and 2778 submitting a completed application form and supporting documents as set forth on the application 2779 form. Complete applications shall be reviewed in a public hearing before the Planning Commission 2780 and acted upon by the City Council according to the process set forth in Chapter 108. If a proposed 2781 zoning change is denied, an application for substantially the same zoning change on the same 2782 property shall not be accepted within 1 year of the date of the denial. 2783 D. Petitions: A petition containing the signatures of at least 50% of the property owners within the public 2784 hearing notification area for a particular piece of property may be submitted as an application for 2785 approval of a zoning change when none of the petitioners is the owner of said property. 2786 E. Such an application-by-petition, along with a letter detailing the reasons for the requested zoning 2787 change, and the fee set forth in Chapter 314 of this Code, shall be submitted to the Community 2788 Development Department and shall be reviewed according the same process as established in 2789 Subsection C above, including a petitioner-sponsored open house meeting for a proposed zoning map 2790 change as required in Subsection B above. 2791 1009.07: DEVELOPER OPEN HOUSE MEETINGS 2792 A.
