The Council shall not act on a proposed amendment to this Planning and Zoning Code until it has received a written report and recommendation from the Planning Commission on the proposed amendment.
On receipt of a written report and recommendation from the Planning Commission, the Clerk of Council shall place such report, recommendation, and ordinance for amendment on its agenda. Before any ordinance for amendment may be passed, the Council shall hold a public hearing thereon as set by the Clerk or by the Council as a whole, and shall give at least thirty (30) days notice of time and place thereof in a newspaper of general circulation in the City. If the ordinance, measure, or regulation intends to rezone or redistrict ten (10) or less parcels of land, as listed on the tax duplicate, written notice of the hearing shall be mailed by the Zoning Administrator, by first class mail, at least twenty (20) days before the date of the public hearing to the owners of property, within a two hundred (200') foot radius from such parcel, to the address of such owners appearing on the County Auditor's current tax list or the Finance Director's mailing list and to such other list that may be specified by Council. The failure of delivery of such notice shall not invalidate any such ordinance, measure, or regulation.
During such thirty (30) 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 written report submitted by the Planning Commission, shall be on file for public examination, in the office of the Zoning Administrator. Approval or disapproval of any amendment to this Planning and Zoning Code by Council shall be in accordance with Section 159.02(b) of the Administrative Code.
If a manifest error be discovered in this Planning and Zoning Code consisting of the misspelling of any word or words, the omission of any word or words necessary to express the intention of the provisions affected, the use of a word or words to which no meaning can be attached, or the use of a word or words when another word or words were clearly intended to express the intent, the spelling shall be corrected, and the word or words supplied, omitted, or substituted as will conform with the manifest intention, and the provision shall have the same effect as though the correct words were contained in the text as originally published. No alteration shall be made or permitted if any question exists regarding the nature or extent of the error.
