A public hearing on any matter once closed cannot be reopened on the date set for hearing unless the presiding officer determines that all persons who were present when the hearing closed are still present. Nothing in this section, however, is intended to prevent or prohibit the reopening of public hearing at any subsequent regular or special meeting of the Council. No public hearing may be reopened without due and proper notice being given to the applicant and his or her opponents designating the time and place of said reopening.
