The approval process for Metro Plan amendments shall be as follows: <br />a. The initiating governing body of any Type I, 11, or III Metro Plan amendment shall <br />notify all governing bodies of the intended amendment and the Type of <br />amendment proposed. If any governing body disagrees with the Type of the <br />proposed amendment that governing body may refer the matter to the processes <br />provided in 8(d) or (e) as appropriate. <br />b. When more than one governing body participates in the decision, the Planning <br />Commissions of the bodies shall conduct a joint public hearing and forward that <br />record and their recommendations to their respective elected officials. The <br />elected officials shall also conduct a joint public hearing prior to making a final <br />decision. <br />C. If all participating governing bodies reach a consensus to approve a proposed <br />amendment, substantively identical ordinances effecting the changes shall be <br />adopted. When an amendment is not approved, it may not be re-initiated, except <br />by one of the three governing bodies, for one year. <br />d.
