The Planning and Zoning Commission shall hold a public hearing on any application for any amendments or change prior to making its recommendation and report to the City Council. When any such amendment or change relates to a change in classification or boundary of a zoning district, written notice of public hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission on the proposed amendment or change shall be mailed to all owners of real property lying within 200 feet of the property on which the change is requested. Such notice shall be given not less than ten days before the date set for hearing by depositing in the mail such notice properly addressed and postage paid to each taxpayer as the ownership appears on the last approved city tax roll. When any such amendment relates to a change of a zoning regulation or to the text of this chapter not affecting specific property, notice of the public hearing of the Planning and Zoning Commission shall be given by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the city without necessity of notifying property owners by mail. Such notice shall state the time and place of such hearing and the nature of the subject to be considered, which time shall not be earlier than ten days from the date of publication.
