(a) A secretary assigned by the Director of Planning and Development (hereinafter "Secretary") shall be required to send notification of Planning and Design Commission meetings giving the time, date and subject matter of the meeting to the independent record title holder of property affected by any proposed subdivision or development.
For the purposes of this section those interested parties affected by any subdivision or development shall be as follows:
(1) Those on the same side of the street which abut the premises involved;
(2) Those across the street immediately opposite the premises involved;
(3) Any other premises abutting the premises involved; and
(4) Such other premises as may be ordered to be notified by rule or regulation of the Commission or by its special order.
(b) The Secretary shall be required to send notification of Planning and Design Commission meetings giving the time, date and subject matter of the meeting to the independent record title holder of property affected by any proposal to initiate or recommend the initiation of an amendment of the Zoning Map, in conjunction with a subdivision or development plan, or otherwise to request rezoning. For the purposes of this section, those interested parties affected by any rezoning shall be all record title holders of real property, located within one thousand (1,000) feet of the property, area, zone or district proposed to be changed within the boundaries of North Olmsted.
(c) The notice specified in subsections (a) and (b) hereof shall be by regular first class mail postage prepaid, mailed at least five days prior to the date of such meeting.
(d) For purposes of this section "independent record title holder," except as otherwise specifically provided herein for condominium property, means a person, who as disclosed by the records of the Auditor of the County, is the owner at any date within sixty days of the date of such notice. For condominium property, "independent record title holder" means the condominium homeowners association for the condominium property, as disclosed by the records of the Auditor or Recorder of the County. Notice to a condominium homeowners association shall be deemed sufficient if, after reasonable efforts to ascertain the identity of the president and secretary of the association, it is addressed to the president and secretary of the association and mailed to their addresses if so ascertained. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision and in lieu of the same, notice to a condominium homeowner's association shall be deemed sufficient if served upon the agent for service of process as identified in those documents on file with the Ohio Secretary of State.
(e) Nothing herein provided shall be construed as limiting the power of the Commission from enlarging on such notice, nor be construed as prohibiting the Secretary from providing separate or additional notification upon the request of the Commission or any citizen.
