The purpose of a petition for a zoning map amendment is to establish the initial zoning district classification of land, or to authorize a use of land, or to change the zoning district classification of land, or in the case of overlay zoning districts, to authorize uses or a set of zoning standards for the land that are not presently authorized under the regulations for the zoning district in which the property is located. (b) Applicability. Where a property owner seeks to establish an initial zoning district classification for land, or to establish a use of land or through an overlay district to apply standards to a proposed use that are not currently authorized by the zoning district regulations currently in effect, the property owner must submit a petition for a zoning map amendment before seeking approval of any quasi - judicial or administrative development application for such land. The requirements of this Division do not apply to land outside of the City limits. The requirements of this Division do apply to land annexed to the City upon the effective date of the annexation. (c) Effect. Enactment of an ordinance approving a petition for a zoning map amendment results in a change in zoning district classification for the property, and the use of the land thereafter is subject to all requirements of the new zoning district. Approval of a petition for a zoning map amendment authorizes the property owner to establish any use authorized in the new zoning district, subject to the standards applicable within the zoning district, upon obtaining approval of all development applications required by this Land Development Code.
