The Commission, prior to recommending a Zoning Ordinance map amendment that is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan to the Council shall conduct at least one public hearing in which interested persons shall have an opportunity to be heard. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the hearing, notice of time and place and a summary of the amendment shall be published in the official newspaper or paper of general circulation within the jurisdiction. The applicant shall provide additional notice of the hearing by regular mail to property owners and residents within the land being considered, one thousand feet (1,000') of the external boundaries of the land being considered, and any additional area that may be impacted by the proposed change as determined by the Commission. The proposed map amendment may impact property owners or residents who reside outside the postal service zip code mailing limits of the City. The Commission will determine if these property owners should be notified by certified mail. When notice is required by two hundred (200) or more property owners or residents, in lieu of the mail notification three (3) notices in the official newspaper or paper of general circulation is sufficient; provided, that the third notice appears at least ten (10) days prior to the public hearing. Following the Commission's hearing, if the Commission makes a material change from what was presented at the public hearing, further notice and hearing shall be provided before the Commission forwards the amendment with its recommendation to the Council.
