(a) Before the proposed Ordinance may be adopted, the Village Council shall hold a public hearing, and shall give at least thirty (30) days notice of the time and place thereof in a newspaper of general circulation in the Village.
(b) If the proposed Ordinance intends to remove or redistrict ten or less parcels of land, as listed on the Geauga County Auditor's current tax duplicate, written notice of the hearing shall be made by the Fiscal Officer, by first class mail, at least twenty (20) days before the date of the public hearing to the owners of property within 200 feet or contiguous to, and directly across the street from such parcel or parcels to be redistricted to the address of such owners appearing on the Geauga County Auditor's current tax duplicate.
(c) The failure of delivery of such notice shall not invalidate such proposed Ordinance.
(d) During such thirty (30) days, the text or copy of the text of the proposed Ordinance, together with maps, plans, and reports submitted by the Planning Commission and, if applicable, a copy of the Development Plan for the rezoning approved by the Planning Commission shall be on file, for public examination, in the offices of the Fiscal Officer.
(e) No Ordinance which violates, differs from, or departs from the recommendation submitted by the Planning Commission shall take effect unless passed or approved by not less than three fourths of the membership of the Village Council. For purposes of this section, a rezoning ordinance which approves a rezoning but which approves a Development Plan which substantively differs from the Development Plan recommended by the Planning Commission pursuant to Section 1137.03(b) shall also require approval of three-fourths of the membership of the Village Council.
