The council may, from time to time, on its own motion, or on petition after hearing and public notice of such hearing given by one publication in a newspaper of general circulation at least 10 days before the time of hearing, amend, supplement or change the regulations and districts established by any ordinance adopted pursuant to subdivisions 19 and 20 of Section 2, Article III, of this Charter. Whenever the owners of 50% or more of the frontage of any district or part thereof, shall present to the council a petition duly signed and acknowledged by them, requesting any such amendment, supplement, change or repeal of the regulations prescribed for such district, or part thereof, the council shall act upon such petition within 90 days after the filing thereof. No amendment, change, supplement or repeal of the regulations or of the boundaries of districts established by any ordinance passed under the above-mentioned provisions of the Charter shall be made except by a four-fifths (4/5) vote of the council, and if at the time of the hearing thereon a protest against such amendment, supplement, change or repeal is presented, duly signed and acknowledged by the owners of 20% or more of the frontage of property which will be directly affected by the proposed amendment, supplement, change or repeal, or by the owners of 20% of the frontage of property which is immediately adjacent thereto, either in the rear, or the sides, or across the street, no such amendment, change, supplement or repeal shall be adopted except by unanimous vote of the council.
