Where <br />it seems that the request will be lacking in <br />justification, the zoning administrator should <br />point out the difficulties and attempt to dis ­ <br />courage the applicant from submitting a re­ <br />quest. <br />The zoning administrator cannot refuse to accept <br />an application, and if the applicarl wishes to pro ­ <br />ceed. the administrator will: <br />• Check petition for accuracy and completeness. <br />• Collect filing fee. <br />Note: Certain portions of the amendment procedure <br />are required under Minnesota state law, while <br />other portions are optional and can be re­ <br />quired under the city zoning ordinance. <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />'h ' ; <br />The petition for rezoning should be filed with <br />the city council in the same manner as other re­ <br />quests for governmental action. <br />iff <br />i <br />« * <br />I
