(A) Date for public hearing. Upon the filing of an application, the Commission shall, when required, set a date for a public hearing thereon, which date shall not be less than 20 nor more than 40 days from the date of the filing of a complete application.
(B) Public hearing by Commission. Before submitting its recommendation on a proposed amendment to the Village Council, the Commission shall hold a public hearing, notice of which shall be given by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipality at least 20 days before the date of the hearing. The notice shall state the place or places and times at which the proposed amendment to the ordinance, including text and maps, may be examined.
(C) Notice to property owners. If the proposed amendment or supplement intends to rezone or redistrict ten or less parcels of land, as listed on the tax duplicate, written notice of the hearing shall be mailed by first-class mail at least 20 days before the date of the public hearing to all owners of property within and contiguous to and directly across the street from such area proposed to be rezoned to the address 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 that may be specified by the Commission. The notice shall state the place or places and times at which the proposed amendment to the ordinance, including text and maps, may be examined. The failure to notify, as provided in this section, shall not invalidate any recommendations adopted hereunder, it being the intention of this section to provide, so far as may be possible, due notice to persons substantially interested in the proposed change that an application is pending before the Commission, proposing to make a change in the zoning district map or the regulations set forth in this chapter.
