(a) Defined. As used in this chapter, "public hearing" means a regularly scheduled hearing before the Board of Zoning Appeals at which the applicant, City representatives, other interested persons and the public in general are invited, by reason of publication of notice of public hearing pursuant to the provisions of subsection (b) hereof to make presentations in the matter under consideration.
(b) Notice of Hearing. A public hearing shall be held by the Board when it deems such public hearing necessary to the public interest. If the Board orders a public hearing on an application for a conditional use permit, special exception or variance, notice thereof shall be given by mailing notice to all owners of property as shown on the last adopted tax roll, within 200 feet adjacent to and abutting the parcel involved or across the public right of way therefrom, such mailing to be at least five days prior to the public hearing, or by publishing notice in a newspaper of general circulation printed and published in the City, not less than seven days prior to the public hearing. Notice may also be given by such other means as the Board deems appropriate. Failure of any person, other than the applicant, to receive notice of any public hearing shall in no way affect the validity of action taken.
