§ 18.12.110. Proposed plan or amendment - Procedure required for council changes.

The council shall not make any change in any proposed precise plan, regulation or amendment recommended by the planning commission until the proposed change has been referred to the planning commission for a report, and a copy of the report has been filed with the council. Said report shall be advisory only and shall not be binding upon the council. The failure of the planning commission to report within forty days after reference, or such longer period as may be designated by the council at the time of such reference, shall be deemed to be approval by the commission of the proposed change. Pending receipt of such report, the council shall continue, from time to time, any public hearing theretofore commenced on the proposed precise plan or regulation or amendment recommended by the commission with respect to which said change was proposed by the council, to a time subsequent to the receipt of said report from the planning commission so that same may be considered at such hearing; provided, that said hearing shall not be continued to a date later than fifteen days after the expiration of said forty-day or longer designated period. Upon the failure of the commission to report within said forty-day or longer designated period, or after receipt of the planning commission's report on such proposed change and consideration thereof at such continued public hearing, the council may adopt any proposed precise plan, regulation or amendment which has been recommended to it by the planning commission with the changes proposed by the council.
