Title 18 - Unified Development Ordinance

18.140.160 Rezoning for Lesser Change

The Planning Commission may recommend and the Governing Body may adopt a change in zoning which is a lesser change than the one requested, provided that the more restrictive district is in the same residential, commercial or industrial grouping as the district for which the change was requested. (See Section 18.150.010). In no case may a change to a residential district be approved if the application is for a commercial or industrial district, and in no case may a commercial district be approved if the application is for an industrial district. Applications for District A may not be changed to another category unless a new application is filed. A Planned Zoning District shall be equally restrictive to its equivalent Conventional Zoning District and the Governing Body may adopt a change in zoning to an equivalent district. (For example, a zoning of District RP-1 may be approved under a request for District R-1.) Provided, the Governing Body may refer any such application back to the Planning Commission for further consideration if, in its judgment, it deems such referral advisable and in the best interest of the public and the applicant.
