In instances where a public hearing is required under this chapter with the Planning Commission or the Zoning Board of Appeals, written notice of the public hearing shall be as follows.
(A) Notice content. The notice shall do all of the following:
(1) Describe the nature of the request;
(2) Indicate the property that is the subject of the request. The notice shall include a listing of all existing street addresses within the property. Street addresses do not need to be created and listed if no such addresses currently exist within the property. If there are no street addresses, other means of identification may be used;
(3) State when and where the request will be considered; and
(4) Indicate when and where written comments will be received concerning the request.
(B) Notice publication and mailing. Notice shall be published and mailed not less than 15 days prior to the public hearing as follows.
(1) Notice of the request shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the village.
(2) Notice shall be sent by mail or personal delivery to the owners of property for which approval is being considered.
(3) Notice shall also be sent to all persons to whom real property is assessed within 300 feet of the subject property, and to the occupants of all structures within 300 feet of the subject property, regardless of whether the property or structure is located in the zoning jurisdiction. Notification need not be given to more than one occupant of a structure, except that if a structure contains more than one dwelling unit or spatial area owned or leased by different persons, one occupant of each unit or spatial area shall be given notice. If a single structure contains more than four dwelling units or other distinct spatial areas owned or leased by different persons, notice may be given to the manager or owner of the structure, who shall be requested to post the notice at the primary entrance to the structure. If the name of the occupant is not known, the term “occupant” may be used in making notification under this division (B)(3).
(4) The notice under division (B)(3) above is considered to be given when personally delivered or when deposited during normal business hours for delivery with the United States Postal Service or other public or private delivery service.
(C) Ordinance amendments and rezonings of more than ten properties. Public hearings for an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, or the zoning map, that affects 11 or more properties shall only require notice in a newspaper, which shall not be required to indicate the property subject to the request under division (A)(2) above, and notice shall not be required to be mailed to individual properties under divisions (B)(2) and (3) above.
(D) ZBA interpretations and appeals. Public hearings for ordinance interpretations and appeals of administrative decisions by the Board of Zoning Appeals shall only require notice in a newspaper, as required in division (B)(1) above, and if the interpretation or appeal of an administrative decision involves a specific property, notice shall also be given to the person bringing the appeal, as required in division (B)(2) above. Variances shall require full notification under divisions (B)(1) to (3) above.
