VETOES

4.02.

(A) For any or all of said purposes the local legislative

body may divide the county or municipal corporation into

districts of such number, shape, and area as may be deemed best
suited to execute the purposes of this article, and within such

districts it may regulate and restrict the erection,

construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair or use of

buildings, structures or land. All such regulations shall be

uniform for each class or kind of development throughout each
district, but the regulations in one district may differ from
those in other districts.

(B) UPON ANNEXATION OF LAND THE LOCAL LEGISLATIVE BODY OF A
MUNICIPAL CORPORATION MAY DIVIDE THE ANNEXED LAND INTO 1 OR MORE
DISTRICTS UNDER THE MUNICIPAL CORPORATION'S ZONING SCHEME AND
APPLY THE REGULATIONS PROVIDED FOR IN SUBSECTION (A) TO THOSE

DISTRICTS. THE DIVISION OF ANNEXED LAND INTO 1 OR MORE ZONING

DISTRICTS AND THE APPLICATION OF REGULATIONS TO THOSE DISTRICTS
BY THE LOCAL LEGISLATIVE BODY OF THE MUNICIPAL CORPORATION SHALL
BE CONSIDERED AN EXTENSION OF THE MUNICIPAL CORPORATION'S MOST
RECENT DETERMINATION AND ESTABLISHMENT OF ZONING DISTRICTS ON A
COMPREHENSIVE BASIS, AND SHALL BE UNDERTAKEN IN THE SAME MANNER
AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SAME RULES AND PROCEDURES APPLICABLE
TO COMPREHENSIVE ZONING WITHIN THE MUNICIPAL CORPORATION.

4.05.

(a) Such regulations, restrictions, and boundaries may from
time to time be amended, supplanted, modified, or repealed.
Where the purpose and effect of the proposed amendment is to
change the zoning classification, the local legislative body
shall make findings of fact in each specific case including, but
not limited to, the following matters: population change,
availability of public facilities, present and future
transportation patterns, compatibility with existing and proposed
development for the area, the recommendation of the planning
commission, and the relationship of such proposed amendment to
the jurisdiction's plan; and may grant the amendment based upon a
finding that there was a substantial change in the character of
the neighborhood where the property is located or that there was
a mistake in the existing zoning classification. A complete
record of the hearing and the votes of all members of the local
legislative body shall be kept.

SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall
take effect July 1, 1988.
