Before any ordinance, measure or regulation, or amendments thereto, authorized by Ohio R.C. 713.07 to 713.11, inclusive, may be passed, Council shall hold a public hearing thereon, and shall give at least thirty days notice of the time and place in a newspaper of general circulation in the City. If the ordinance, measure or regulation intends to re-zone or re-district ten or fewer parcels of land, as listed on the tax duplicate, written notice of the hearing shall be mailed by the Clerk of Council, by first class mail, at least twenty days before the date of the public hearing to the owners of property 200 feet within and contiguous to and directly across the street from such parcel or parcels, to the addresses of such owners appearing on the County Auditor's current tax list or the Treasurer's mailing list and to such other list or lists as may be specified by Council. The failure of delivery of such notice shall not invalidate any such ordinance, measure or regulation. During such thirty days, the text or copy of the text of such ordinance, measure or regulation, together with the maps or plans, or copies thereof, forming part of or referred to in such ordinance, measure or regulation and the maps, plans and reports submitted by the Planning Commission shall be on file, for public examination, in the office of the Clerk of Council located at 102 South Main Street or in such other office as is designated by Council. No such ordinance, measure or regulation which violates, differs from or departs from the plan or report submitted by the Commission shall take effect unless passed or approved by not less than three-fourths of the membership of Council. No ordinance, measure or regulation which is in accordance with the recommendations, plan or report submitted by the Commission shall be deemed to pass or take effect without the concurrence of at least a majority of the members of the elected legislative authority.
