   These regulations, restrictions, and boundaries may from time to time be amended, supplemented, changed, modified, or repealed.

The City Council shall request and receive the advice of the Planning Commission before taking definite action on any contemplated amendment, supplement, change, modification, or repeal. No regulation, restriction, or boundary shall become effective until after a public hearing in relation thereto, at which parties in interest and citizens shall have an opportunity to be heard.

   In addition to the publication of the notice therein prescribed, a notice shall be posted in a conspicuous place on or near the property on which action is pending. The notice shall not be less than 18 inches in height and 24 inches in width with a white or yellow background and black letters not less than one and one-half inches in height. The posted notice shall be so placed upon the premises that it is easily visible from the street nearest the same and shall be so posted at least ten days prior to the date of the hearing. It shall be unlawful for anyone to remove, mutilate, destroy, or change the notice prior to the hearing. Any persons so doing shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. If the record title owners of any lots included in the proposed change be nonresidents of the municipality, then a written notice of the hearing shall be mailed by certified mail to them addressed at their last-known address at least ten days prior to the hearing. At the option of the City Council, in place of the posted notice provided above, the owners or occupants of the real estate to be zoned or rezoned may be personally served with a written notice thereof at least ten days prior to the date of the hearing, if they can be served with the notice in the county. Where the notice cannot be served personally upon the owners or occupants in the county, a written notice of the hearing shall be mailed to the owners or occupants addressed to their last-known addresses at least ten days prior to the hearing. The provisions of this section in reference to notice shall not apply in the event of a proposed change in the regulations, restrictions, or boundaries throughout the entire area of an existing zoning district in the city zoning jurisdiction, or in the event additional or different types of zoning districts are proposed, whether or not the additional or different districts are made applicable to areas, or parts of areas, already within a zoning district of the municipality, but only the requirements of § 153.340 shall be applicable.
