A proposed amendment to the Zoning Code shall have a public hearing before the Planning Commission and Council. Notice of the time, place and purpose of the hearing shall be given in the following manner:
(a) In the case of the public hearing before the Planning Commission, a notice not less than five days prior to the date of the public hearing, shall be sent by certified mail to the owners of all property within 300 feet of the area proposed to be changed, using for this purpose the last known name and address of such owners as shown upon the copy of County Records Plat Book on file in the Clerk of Council's office. Where the property within the 300 foot radius is under the same ownership as the property that is involved in the proposed change, then the owner of property next adjoining the land shall also be notified by certified mail as above provided. The requirement for service by certified mail herein contained may be dispensed with by the Planning Commission providing the Commission makes application to Council in writing for permission to dispense with the requirement and Council by motion, duly adopted, grants permission. The requirement for service by publication contained in Article VIII, Section 3, of the Charter and Section 1165.01 shall in no way be affected by the determination by the Planning Commission and the Council to dispense with service by certified mail.
(b) In the case of the public hearing before Council, notice shall be given by publication in a newspaper of general circulation within the City of Eastlake, such publication to be not less than thirty days prior to the date of the public hearing.
