(a) Before submitting its recommendation on a proposed amendment to Council, the Board of Zoning Appeals shall hold a public hearing thereon, notice of which shall be given by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the Municipality at least thirty days before the date of the hearing. The notice shall state the place or places and times at which the proposed amendment to this Zoning Code, including the text and maps, may be examined.
(b) If the proposed amendment or supplement intends to rezone or redistrict ten or fewer parcels of land, as listed on the tax duplicate, written notice of the public hearing as provided in subsection (a) hereof shall be mailed by the Fiscal Officer, by first-class mail, at least twenty days before the date of the public hearing, to all owners of property within, contiguous to and directly across the street from the area proposed to be rezoned or redistricted, to the addresses of such owners appearing on the County Auditor’s current tax list or the Fiscal Officer mailing list and on such other list or lists that may be specified by the Commission. The failure to notify, as provided in this subsection, shall not invalidate any recommendations adopted hereunder, it being the intention of this subsection to provide, so far as may be possible, due notice to persons substantially interested in the proposed change that an application is pending before the Commission, proposing to make a change in the Zoning District Map or the regulations set forth in this Zoning Code.
