Plan Board Hearing
The City’s zoning code requires that all proposed zoning map amendments go before the City Plan Board for
review. A proposal to establish an Urban Preservation Overlay District is considered a zoning map amendment.
After the Urban Preservation Plan is prepared, the City Plan Board will schedule a public hearing on the proposal
in accordance with Sections 150.125.5 and 150.125.7 of the city zoning code. Notices of the public hearing are
sent to property owners within 250 feet of the proposed district and to the land use committee in which the
proposed district is located. The land use committee may invite the applicant to present his or her case for the
map amendment to it at a meeting. If the land use committee has a recommendation on the proposal, they will
forward it to the Plan Board for consideration.
The applicant will have an opportunity to present his or her case for the map amendment at the Plan Board public
hearing. In addition, all views, pro and con, may be presented by any interested citizen in person or by letter at
the public hearing. After a public hearing and review of the pertinent facts involved in the case, the Plan Board
will forward its recommendation for approval or disapproval of the zoning map amendment to the City
Commission for further action. See Sections 150.125.7 and 150.125.8 of the city zoning code for more
information about the Plan Board decision-making process, and the items the Plan Board should consider when
making its recommendation.
Action by the City Commission on Requests for Zoning Map Amendments
If the Plan Board recommends approval, or approval with modifications, of the proposed zoning map amendment,
the City Commission will hold a public hearing on the proposal. The applicant will have an opportunity to
present his or her case for the map amendment at the public hearing. In addition, any interested citizen at the
public hearing may present all views, pro and con. After a public hearing and review of the pertinent facts
involved in the case, the City Commission will decide whether or not to approve the zoning map amendment.
The City Commission must approve a zoning map amendment in order for it to become effective. Map
amendments usually take effect immediately upon approval by the City Commission. See Sections 150.125.8-
150.125.13 of the city zoning code for more information.
If the Plan Board recommends disapproval of the proposed map amendment, within twenty days of the Plan
Board decision, the applicant may notify the Clerk of the City Commission and Secretary to the Plan Board in
writing that he or she desires a public hearing before the City Commission. The City Commission will hold a
public hearing on the proposed amendment. The applicant will have an opportunity to present his or her case for
the map amendment at the public hearing. In addition, any interested citizen at the public hearing may present all
views, pro and con. After a public hearing and review of the pertinent facts involved in the case, the City
Commission will decide whether or not to approve the zoning map amendment. The City Commission must
