19-2951.   Same; notice and hearing; zoning resolution; procedure.
Before any improvement district shall create any zone or district or regulate
or restrict the use of buildings or land therein, the governing body shall
approve a proposed zoning resolution fixing the boundaries of the proposed
zoning districts and the regulations and restrictions to be imposed therein.
Such proposed zoning resolution together with a notice of a public hearing
thereon shall be published once each week for two consecutive
weeks in the official county newspaper. At least 20 days shall elapse between
the date of the last publication of such resolution and notice and the public
hearing held thereon. Such hearing may be adjourned from time to time and
at the conclusion of the same the governing body may adopt such zoning resolution
as proposed or may revise or amend and adopt the same as revised or amended.
The boundaries of zones or districts may be set out upon a map incorporated
and published as a part of the zoning resolution. Upon adoption such zoning
resolution shall be published once in the official county newspaper. For
the purpose of defining the boundaries of zones or districts, the governing
body shall publish a map upon which boundaries shall be fixed.

     
The governing body may from time to time supplement, change or generally
revise the boundaries or regulations contained in any zoning resolution.
Any amendments or changes made in any zoning resolution shall be made by
resolution in the manner, and after notice and hearing, as prescribed for
the adoption of the original zoning resolution. If a protest against any
such amendment or change in any zoning resolution is filed in the office
of the county clerk within 14 days after the date of the conclusion of the
hearing duly signed and acknowledged by the owners of 20% or more of any
property proposed to be rezoned or by the owners of 20% of the total area
excepting public streets and ways which is located within 200 feet of the
boundaries of the property proposed to be rezoned, the resolution adopting
such amendment or change shall not be passed except by unanimous vote of
the members of the governing body of the district.
