Subd. 2. General requirements. (a) At any time after <br /> the adoption of a land use plan for the municipality, the <br /> planning agency, for the purpose of carrying out the policies <br /> and goals of the land use plan, may prepare a proposed zoning <br /> ordinance and submit it to the governing body with its <br /> recommendations for adoption. <br /> (b) Subject to the requirements of subdivisions 3, 4, and <br /> 5, the governing body may adopt and amend a zoning ordinance by <br /> a majority vote of all its members. The adoption or amendment <br /> of any portion of a zoning ordinance which changes all or part <br /> of the existing classification of a zoninq district from <br /> residential to either commercial or industrial requires a <br /> two-thirds majority vote of all members of the governing body. <br /> (c) The land use plan must provide guidelines for the <br /> timing and sequence of the adoption of official controls to <br /> ensure planned, orderly, and staged development and <br /> redevelopment consistent with the land use plan. <br /> Subd. 3. Public hearings. No zoning ordinance or <br /> amendment thereto shall be adopted until a public hearing has <br /> been held thereon by the planning agency or by the governing <br /> body. A notice of the time, place and purpose of the hearing <br /> shall be published in the official newspaper of the municipality <br /> at least ten days prior to the day of the hearing. When an <br /> amendment involves changes in district boundaries affecting an <br /> area of five acres or less, a similar notice shall be mailed at <br /> least ten days before the day of the hearing to each owner of <br /> affected property and property situated wholly or partly within <br /> 350 feet of the property to which the amendment relates. For <br /> the purpose of giving mailed notice, the person responsible for <br /> mailing the notice may use any appropriate records to determine <br /> the names and addresses of owners. A copy of the notice and a <br /> list of the owners and addresses to which the notice was sent <br /> shall be attested to by the responsible person and shall be made <br /> a part of the records of the proceedings. The failure to give <br /> mailed notice to individual property owners, or defects in the <br /> notice shall not invalidate the proceedings, provided a bona <br /> fide attempt to comply with this subdivision has been made. <br /> Subd. 9. Amendments. An amendment to a zoning <br /> ordinance may be initiated by the governing body, the planning <br /> agency, or by petition of affected property owners as defined in <br /> the zoning ordinance. An amendment not initiated by the <br /> planning agency shall be referred to the planning agency, if <br /> there is one, for study and report and may not be acted upon by <br /> the governing body until it has received the recommendation of <br /> the planning agency on the proposed amendment or until 60 days <br /> have elapsed from the date of reference of the amendment without <br /> a report by the planning agency. <br /> Subd. 5.
