Chapter 133, Acts of General Assembly 1961 amends the Planning Act; i. e., Chapter 174, Acts of 1947, Section 64 as follows: Failure of the City Council to pass such proposed ordinance by said affirmative vote within ninety (90) .days after its rejection by the plan commission shall constitute rejection of the proposed ordinance and it shall not be reconsidered by the Planning Commission or the City Council until the expiration of one (1) year after date of its original rejection by the Plan Commission. (The said "affirmative vote" referred to above is the statutory require- ment of 75% vote of the Council to override an unfavorable recommendation.) The 90 day time period expired on 8 October, 1963, It would seem eminently clear, therefore, that the subject petition is not at issue. Very truly yours, CITY PLANNING COMMISSION /s/ Robert L. Huff Director of Planning RLH /cf Councilman Lehman made a motion that the report be accepted and placed on file. Councilman Tellson seconded the motion. Motion carried.
