A. In the event the city council denies an application to change a zoning map, land use map, regulation, or the general plan, or in the event the application is withdrawn, the planning commission shall not consider a new or revised application for the same change within a period of one (1) year from the date of such denial action, unless the conditions upon which the application was based have substantially changed. A new or revised application is considered withdrawn if it is not submitted for a decision within six (6) months of filing the initial or revised application.

B. Substantial Change: For purposes of this section, a “substantial change” in an application shall mean a substantial reduction in density and/or land area to be developed, a change in the type or intensity of the proposed use (e.g., residential instead of commercial), or other factors which clearly constitute a substantial change. The community development director or designee shall make a substantial change determination. The city council may adopt, modify, revise, or reject the determination. (Ord. 2019-10-002, 10-10-2019)
