Property owners adjacent to and within a radius of 200 feet of a property for which
a change in zoning is being considered have the right to file a written protest against
the request. The land area of this 200-foot radius includes streets, alleys and other
public right-of-way.
Whenever such written protest is signed by the owners of 20 percent or more of the
area of the lots or land included in such zoning change, or of the lots or land immediately
adjoining the same and within the above mentioned 200-foot radius, or if such change
is recommended for denial by the planning and zoning commission, such change in zoning
shall require a favorable vote of three-fourths of all eligible members of the city
council.
For purposes of determining representation on this written protest, the written protest
of any one owner of land owned by two or more persons shall be presumed to be the
protest of all owners.
