Sec. 2-53. Procedure in enacting general ordinances.[26]
No general ordinance shall be passed by the city council on
the same day of its introduction, nor shall any such ordinance
be valid unless at least three days intervene between its introduction
and passage; provided, that by a four-fifths vote of
the city council, a general ordinance may be passed on the
same date of its introduction and be valid; provided further,
that any zoning ordinance or amendment to the zoning ordinance
may be passed at the same meeting at which a public
hearing on such zoning ordinance or amendment to the zoning
ordinance is held. (Code 1959, § 2-53; 2-4-63.)
