If a motion was passed and next meet can someone rescind it?

the motion was made that once we closed on the property that it could not be sold for five years to give time for development  it passed

now at our next meeting can someone rescind that vote? If so can it be stopped from rescinding

At the next meeting... or at any future meeting... any member may MOVE to amend or rescind the previously adopted motion.  The motion requires a second and a two thirds vote or the vote of a majority of the entire membership if it is made without previous notice.  If previous notice is given of the intent to make the motion, it can be adopted by a majority vote.  The motion is debatable.

Agreeing with Richard, Joshua, and Guest, I would first note that some motions cannot be rescinded.  A motion to "buy the president a gavel" cannot be rescinded one the gavel has been bought, for example.

 

You could adopt a special rule making a motion to Rescind/Amend Something Previously Adopted subject of the motion Objection To the Consideration of the Question.  That way, if only a small minority wants to try to rescind the motion, at least 2/3 can shut that down.
