(a) Before any ordinance or amendment thereto authorized by Chapters 1260 to 1272, inclusive, may be passed, Council shall hold a public hearing thereon, and shall give at least thirty (30) days’ notice of the time and place thereof in a newspaper of general circulation in the City and by ordinary mail, electronic communication or such other method as is reasonably likely to provide actual notice to persons who have requested such notice.
(b) If the ordinance, measure or regulation intends to rezone or redistrict land, written notice of the hearing shall be mailed by the Clerk of Council by first-class, certified mail, return receipt requested, at least twenty (20) days before the date of the public hearing, to the owners of property within and contiguous to and directly across the street from such parcel or parcels, to the addresses of such owners appearing on the County Auditor’s current tax list or the Treasurer’s mailing list, and to such other list or lists as may be specified by Council. The failure of delivery of such notice shall not invalidate any such ordinance, measure or regulation.
(c) During the applicable notice period, the text or a copy of the text of such ordinance, together with maps or plans, or copies thereof, forming part of or referred to in such ordinance, and the maps, plans and reports submitted by the Planning Commission, shall be on file for public examination in the office of the Clerk of Council or in such office as is designated by Council.
