A proposed change of the zoning district boundaries or of the regulations as they pertain to a piece of property may be initiated by the City Council, the Planning and Zoning Commission, or at the request of the owner, owners, or authorized agents of the property to be rezoned.

All proposed amendments shall be considered by the City in accordance with the notice procedures listed in this section, which are required by Act No. 1123 of the 1973 Legislature of the State of Alabama and the requirements set forth in Section 11-52-77 of the Code of Alabama, 1975, as amended.
