  • The city council of the City of Lyons may from time to time amend, supplement, change, modify or repeal this zoning ordinance, including the zoning district boundaries and map, by proceeding in the following manner, and as otherwise required by law. In amending the zoning map or regulation, the city council shall use the "Standards for Zoning Decisions" as adopted by the City of Lyons.

    (141.1)

    The city council, or its delegated agent, shall hold a public hearing on any proposed amendment to the zoning ordinance or map. This public hearing shall be conducted in accordance with the "Policies and Procedures for the Call and Conduct of Zoning Public Hearings," as adopted by the City of Lyons.

    (141.2)

    At least 15 days, but not more than 45 days in advance of the required public hearing, notice of the required public hearing shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of Lyons. Said notice shall, at the minimum and in all cases, state the time, date, place, and purpose of the public hearing. If particular property is to be rezoned, the notice shall, in addition, state the location of the property involved, the present zoning classification of the property involved and the proposed zoning classification of the property involved.

    (141.3)

    If particular property is involved in a proposed amendment initiated by a party other than the local government, additional public notice in the form of a sign erected in a conspicuous location on the property in question shall be required. The party initiating the amendment shall at his expense cause to be erected, in such conspicuous location as the zoning enforcement officer may direct, a sign of not less than nine square feet with not less than three-inch black letters upon a white background, which shall read as follows:
