§ 9.07.1. Amendment of master plan initiated by council.

Amendment of the master plan may be initiated by a majority vote of the city council to submit a proposed amendment to the planning commission. Notwithstanding any provision in this charter or the general law to the contrary, if the planning commission disapproves the proposed amendment, the council shall have the power to overrule such action and adopt the amendment by an affirmative vote of not less than six members. The failure of the planning commission to act within sixty days from the date of the official submission to it shall be deemed approval; however, the council may extend such sixty-day period for an additional period not to exceed sixty days upon a recorded vote of the majority of all the members of council that good cause exists for such extension. The authority of the council under this section shall be concurrent with the authority of the planning commission to initiate a master plan amendment on its own motion. (Acts 1994, bill no. 22, § 1)
