§ 27-227. Resubmittal and reconsideration.

(a)

Where a Sectional Map Amendment is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid because of procedural defects in the advertising, processing, or approval, the District Council may (on its own motion) reconsider the Sectional Map Amendment. The Council may then reapprove the Sectional Map Amendment (including amendments) in accordance with the procedures which apply to the original approval (except the hearing notice requirements).

(b)

Prior to reapproval, the Council shall hold a public hearing on the matter.

(c)

The public hearing shall be advertised in the County newspapers of record once a week for at least two (2) consecutive weeks prior to the hearing date. The notice shall contain the date, time, place, and purpose of the hearing.

(d)

Upon resubmission, the records of the previous hearings on the Sectional Map Amendment shall be incorporated into the record of the new hearing.
