Sec. 30-38. - Hearing—City Council.

The City Council shall hold at least one public hearing upon the matters referred to the Council by the Planning Commission or by appeal. The City Council may approve, modify or reject any part of the recommendation of the Planning Commission. The determination of the City Council shall be final and conclusive, except that whenever the City Council shall consider a change not previously considered by the Planning Commission, the Council may refer such change to the Planning Commission for its recommendation.

Sec. 30-39. - Time limitations.

If an application for a general plan amendment is denied by either the Planning Commission or City Council, another application of the same nature and affecting the same property shall not be filed within a period of one year from the date of denial. However, the hearing body denying the application may give permission for a new application to be filed if a change in circumstances or plans indicate a new application is warranted. Nothing contained in this section shall prohibit either the City Council or Planning Commission from initiating a change of general plan amendment at any time.
