JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS, THAT:
SECTION 1: Ordinance Nos. 213, 238 and 290 of the City of
Jacksonville, specifically that part codified as ~18.92.020 of
the Jacksonville Municipal Code, should be and hereby is amended
to read as follows:
"18.92.020. Additional changes of previously affected pro-
perty - Time Lapse."
After any proposed change or amendment to the boundaries on
regulations established under Ordinance Nos. 213 and 238
has been considered and acted upon by the Planning
Commission or by the City Council, any additional proposed
change or amendment to said property affected by the prior
action shall not be re-submitted to the Planning Commission
or City Council of the City for further consideration until
such time as one year has elapsed from the date of the
action on such proposed change or amendment to said pro-
perty by the Planning Commission or the City Council. This
in no way limits the right of the landowner to appeal the
action of the Planning Commission to the City Council. For
purposes of this section, 'said property affected by the
prior action' shall mean any tract of land being considered
for a change or amendment under Ordinances 213 and 238 of
which at least fifty percent (50%) of that land was
included in a tract of land that had been up for said
change or amendment within the past twelve (12) months
before the Planning Commission or the City Council. Once
the Planning Commission has made its recommendation as to
the approval or denial of the landowner's request, the
Planning Commisson shall not hear any additional requests,
reconsiderations, etc. in regard to that tract for a one
year period of time."
SECTION 2: Whereas, the purpose of this amendment is to
eliminate the confusion surrounding the existing ordinances and
to eliminate the requirement of numerous public hearings
regarding the same tract of land, it is deemed an emergency and
shall take effect immediately upon passage in order to protect
the public welfare, specifically to protect the public par-
ticipation in the planning process.
SECTION 3: That all ordinances or parts of ordinances in
conflict herewith are hereby repealed to the extent of such
conflict.
