Publisher's Note: This Section has been AMENDED by new legislation (Ord. 24-02). The text of the amendment will be incorporated below when the ordinance is codified.
A. The planning board or city council will hold a public hearing on all applications when a public hearing is required by these regulations. The city council may require the planning board to hold additional public hearing(s) if new information becomes available not considered at the previous public hearing. Public notice must follow the procedures under section 12-3-5 of this title for an expedited subdivision, section 12-3-6 of this title for a major subdivision or section 12-3-7 of this title for a minor subdivision or section 12-3-8 for a minor subdivision with a waiver.
B. Once the notice of the first scheduled public hearings before the planning board and city council has been published, as required by these regulations, it is presumed interested persons are aware of the pending application and it will not be necessary to publish, post or mail a notice of subsequent hearings, if they are announced at a meeting of the planning board or city council.
C. In order to allow sufficient time for reasonable comment and if the planning board determines its decision would be affected by the members' fatigue, or should natural events occur which preclude the completion of the public hearing or deliberations, the board, by majority vote of those present, may continue the hearing to the next available meeting. This continued hearing is not a subsequent hearing, nor does it extend the time limits stated in these regulations without subdivider approval. (Ord. 09-23, 11-16-2009; amd. Ord. 21-15, 9-20-2021)
