Zoning Bylaw Amendment
Process
[This
information has been supplied for information purposes
only.]
An
application for rezoning is treated as an application
to amend the City of Grand Forks
Zoning Bylaw #1606.
Rezoning (zoning amendment) applications must be made
in writing, on the Zoning and/or Official Community
Plan Amendment Application form, describing the proposed
change and providing the rationale for the application.
The application shall include the legal description
and location of the property sought to be rezoned, name
and address of the owner of the property, and if the
applicant is not the owner, a statement as to the applicant's
interest in the property to be rezoned. The application
must be accompanied by the required fee. The rezoning
application may also require the Grand Forks Official
Community Plan to be amended as well.
Rezoning applications are considered by Council in the
form of a bylaw amending the Zoning Bylaw. If Council
approves the rezoning application, the bylaw is given
first and second reading. Before third reading a public
hearing is held to notify surrounding property owners,
and others, of the owner's intention for the property.
After considering input from the public hearing, Council
may proceed to third reading and final adoption of the
bylaw.
Council will not reconsider an application for amendment
to the Zoning Bylaw which has been denied within the
past 6 months, they may, however, review the application
prior to this six-month period, if the Council deems
that the original application has been substantially
modified. |
