The Council may provide by ordinance for the procedure for the passage and amendment of any zoning ordinance, the maps and regulations thereof and the publication of notice and public hearing thereof, provided that the minimum notice of the time and place of such public hearing shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the Municipality. In the event it is proposed to amend, enlarge or change any area, zone or district classification defined in an enacted ordinance, then, in addition to the newspaper notice hereinbefore provided, notice of the time and place of such public hearing shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, ten (10) days before such hearing, to the record title holders of the property immediately adjacent, adjoining and abutting on such area, zone or district proposed to be changed. Record title holder shall mean the title holder of such property as disclosed by the records of the Auditor of Lorain County, Ohio, thirty (30) days immediately prior to the date of such public hearing. If the mailing address of such record title holder cannot be reasonably ascertained, then the aforesaid newspaper notice of such hearing shall be deemed adequate notice. Nothing herein provided shall be construed as limiting the power of the Council from enlarging on such notice. Any legislation which would amend, enlarge or change any area, zone or district classifications shall not be passed as an emergency legislation.
