A. Upon receipt by the Zoning Administrator of the application for an amendment that has been duly filed, the Zoning Administrator shall assign the case and/or docket number to the petition and shall maintain a file for such petition, which file shall be open to the public for inspection during regular business hours. All documents pertinent to the case (application, legal notice, evidence, exhibits, transcript or record of proceedings, etc.) shall be placed in said file by the Zoning Administrator.
B. Not more than thirty (30) days nor less than fifteen (15) days before the hearing on which the application for amendment is to be considered, the Village Clerk shall cause notice thereof to be published in one or more newspapers published in the Village, or, if no newspaper is published within the Village, then in one or more newspapers with a general circulation within the Village; and within the same period of time, the petitioner shall send such notice by United States certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to the owners of all real property within two thousand (2,000) feet of the subject property, and shall furnish the Village Clerk proof of receipt of such mailing prior to the date of the hearing. If the proposed amendment concerns a text amendment only or is initiated by the Zoning, Planning and Appeals Commission or the President and Board of Trustees or the Mayor for a comprehensive amendment to the zoning map, newspaper notice of a general nature shall be the only notice that is required.
C. Any party in interest may appear and be heard at the hearing held pursuant to any such application for amendment, and such appearance may be made in person, by agent (if a corporation), or by attorney.
