(a) The Planning Commission may recommend to Village Council and Council may adopt the Comprehensive Plan as a whole by a single ordinance or elements of the plan by successive ordinances. The elements shall correspond with the major geographical sections or divisions of the planning area or with functional subdivisions of the subject matter of the Comprehensive Plan, or both. Before adoption of an element or the plan as a whole, the Village Council shall hold a public hearing thereon, and shall give at least thirty days' notice of the time and place thereof in a newspaper of general circulation. If the ordinance, measure, or regulation intends to re-zone or re-district ten or less parcels of land, as listed on the tax duplicate, written notice of the hearing shall be mailed by the Fiscal Officer, by first class mail, at least twenty days before the date of the public hearing to the owners of property within and contiguous to and directly across the street from such parcel or parcels, to the address of such owners appearing on the County Auditor's current tax list or the Treasurer's mailing list and to such other list or lists that may be specified by Council.
(b) During such thirty days, the text or copy of the text of such ordinance, measure, or regulation, together with the maps or plans, or copies thereof, forming part of or referred to in such ordinance, measure, or regulation and the maps, plans, and reports submitted by the Planning Commission, shall be on file, for public examination, in a public office designated by Council.
(c) No such ordinance, measure or regulation which violates, differs from, or departs from the Plan or report submitted by the Planning Commission, shall take effect unless passed or approved by not less than three fourths of the membership of Council. No ordinance, measure, or regulation which is in accordance with the recommendations, plan, or report submitted by the Planning Commission shall be deemed to pass or take effect without the concurrence of at least a majority of the members of Council.
