(a) Upon receipt of an application to amend this Zoning Code by changing, supplementing, correcting and/or repealing any portion thereof, the Planning Commission shall schedule a public hearing. Said hearing shall be held not more than seventy-five days nor less than one Planning Commission meeting from the date of filing of the application with the Zoning Administrator.
(b) Notice of the public hearing provided for in subsection (a) hereof shall be given by at least one publication in one or more newspapers of general circulation in the City area. Said notice shall be published at least ten days before the date of the required hearing. The published notice shall set forth the time and place of the public hearing, a general description of the proposed amendment to the Zoning Code and a statement to Council for a final decision. Also, before the Planning Commission holds a public hearing, written notice of the meeting shall be sent to all owners of property that has any lot line located within 200 feet of the proposed zoning change. Notice shall be sent by the Zoning Administrator by first class mail at least ten days before the public hearing and shall be sent to owners of such properties as they appear on the County Auditor's current tax list or the Treasurer's mailing list, and to such other persons as may be specified by the Planning Commission. The failure of the United States Postal Service to deliver the notification as provided in this subsection shall not invalidate any such amendment. The notice shall contain the same information as required of notices published in newspapers.
