§ 2.2.5. Withdrawal.Any applicant wishing to withdraw a proposed zoning change prior to final action by the Governing Body shall file a written request for withdrawal with the Director of Planning.

a.

If the request for withdrawal is received prior to the publication of notice for the public hearings, the application shall be withdrawn administratively by the Director of Planning without restriction on the re-filing of a proposed zoning change on the property in the future.

b.

If notice has been published but the application has not been heard by the Planning Commission, the application shall be withdrawn administratively by the Director of Planning upon receipt of a written request. An application for a zoning change on the property may then be resubmitted by the applicant, without waiting for a period of six months.

If a second application for rezoning is withdrawn within 6 months of withdrawal of an application for rezoning of the same property, a third application for rezoning of the property may not be resubmitted for 6 months.

c.

Should any request for withdrawal be made by the applicant at or following the Planning Commission hearing, the application shall remain on the Governing Body's public hearing agenda and the withdrawal request shall be considered for approval or denial, with or without prejudice, by the Governing Body.
