(a) Within a reasonable time after the filing of a notice of appeal with the Building and Zoning Board of Appeals, the Board shall fix a reasonable time for a hearing thereon. Notice of the date, time and place of the hearing shall be given as follows:
(1) Publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the City at least ten days before the day of the hearing;
(2) In writing to the parties concerned with the appeal and to all property owners within 300 feet of the lot or other area involved. To those owners of property within, contiguous to and directly across from the affected property, such notice shall be sent by certified mail to the last known address of the property owner at least ten days before the day of hearing. For all other property owners, such notice shall be sent by first class mail.
(b) Upon the day for hearing any application or appeal, the Board may adjourn the hearing in order to permit additional information to be obtained or to cause such further notice as it deems proper to be served upon such other property owners as it decides may be substantially interested in the application or appeal. In the case of an adjourned hearing, persons previously notified and persons already heard need not be notified of the time of resumption of the hearing unless the Board so decides.
