Upon receipt of the recommendation from the Planning Commission, Council shall set a time within 60 days for a public hearing on the proposed amendment.
(A) Notice of the public hearing shall be given by Council according to the following:
(1) Notice of the proposed amendment shall be published once a week for two consecutive weeks on the same day of the week, the first of which shall be published at least 30 days prior to the date of the required hearing, in one or more newspapers of general circulation in the city.
(2) Whenever a proposed map amendment proposes to rezone 10 or fewer parcels as listed on the tax duplicate, written notice of the hearing shall be given to the applicant and to all owners of property that are within 300 feet of the property proposed to be rezoned or redistricted. Notification shall be sent to the names and addresses of such owners appearing on the County Auditor's current tax list. Such list shall be furnished by the city law director's office. If the address appearing on the tax list is that of a lending institution or other person or entity clearly recognizable as not being the owner, then written notice shall be mailed to such institution, person, or entity at the listed address and to the named owners at the street address of the property. Notices shall be sent by first class mail at least 30 days prior to the public hearing.
(3) Notices shall include the time and place of the public hearing, a summary of the proposed amendment and a statement that opportunity to be heard will be afforded to any person interested. Failure of delivery of such notice shall not invalidate any such amendment.
(B) During the 30 days prior to the public hearing, the text of the proposed amendment, maps or plans, if applicable, and the maps, plans and reports that constitute the recommendation of the Planning Commission shall be on file for public examination in the office of the Zoning Administrator.
