by law may amend, supplement or change the regulations and zoning
districts herein or as subsequently established. A change of zoning
may be initiated by the City council, by the planning commission or
by petition of property owners. All land within the jurisdiction of

Whenever the City council, the planning and zoning
commission or the owner of any land desires a reclassification of
his property or a change of land use district or regulations pertaining
to property, or zoning of a newly annexed area, or zoning or any unzoned

be presented to the planning and zoning commission. The form setting
forth the request and related facts, circumstances or information
shall be filed with the secretary of the planning and zoning commission,
together with a fee as set by the City council. The secretary shall
acknowledge, in writing, receipt of the request and of such fee and
shall thereafter report the request to the planning and zoning commission
at its next regular meeting or special meeting following the date
of filing.
B.
The planning and zoning commission shall hear the
request and take such action as it deems necessary in order to proceed
with any studies, surveys or investigations. Following a public hearing

Statutes, 1977, Section 15-1-602, the planning and zoning commission
shall report its findings and recommendations on such request to the
City council.
C.

be by ordinance duly adopted by the City council after the City council
has received from the planning and zoning commission its report and
recommendation.
The public hearing conducted by the planning
and zoning commission shall satisfy the requirements of Wyoming Statutes,
1977, Section 15-1-602. The City council may, without further public
hearings, take action on the report and recommendations received from
the planning and zoning commission. All zone changes or zoning of
all unzoned areas shall be by ordinance duly adopted by the City council.
