§ 300-90. Amendments.

A. 

Authority. Pursuant to § 83 of the General City Law and other applicable provisions of law, the Common Council may from time to time on its own motion or on petition, after public notice and hearing, amend, supplement, repeal or change the regulations and districts established under this chapter.

B. 

Referral to Planning Commission. Every proposed amendment or change initiated by the Common Council or by petition shall be referred to the City of Oneonta Planning Commission for report thereon before the public hearing required by law. In recommending the adoption of any such proposed amendment, the Planning Commission may state its reasons for such recommendation, describing any conditions that it believes make the amendment advisable, and specifically setting forth the manner in which, in its opinion, the amendment would be in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan for the City, and be in furtherance of the purposes set forth in § 300-2 of this chapter. In recommending the rejection or revision of any proposed amendment or change, the Planning Commission may similarly state its reasons. Failure on the part of the Commission to report its recommendations with respect to any proposed amendment or change to the Common Council within 45 days after the date of referral shall be deemed to be approval thereof, unless such proceedings have theretofore been terminated.

C. 

Referral to County Planning Department. The City Clerk shall promptly transmit to the Otsego County Planning Department any matters required to be referred pursuant to the provisions of §§ 239-l and 239-m of the General Municipal Law.
