(A) Planning and Zoning Commission. The Planning and Zoning Commission (Commission) shall make a preliminary report and hold a public hearing thereon before submitting its final report. Written notice of all public hearings before the zoning commission on proposed changes in classification shall be sent to owners of real property lying within 200 feet of the property on which the change in classification is proposed, such notice to be given not less than ten days before the date set for hearing to all such owners as the ownership appears on the last approved city tax roll. Such notice may be served by depositing the same, properly addressed and postage paid, in the United States mail. Where property lying within 200 feet of the property proposed to be changed is located in territory which was annexed to the city after the date of the last approved city tax roll, notice to such owners shall be given by publication in the manner provided in division (B) of this section.
(B) City Council.
(1) After receipt of the final report form the Planning and Zoning Commission, a public hearing shall be held by the City Council before adopting any proposed amendment, supplement or change.
(2) Notice of such hearing shall be given by publication one time in a paper of general circulation in the city, stating the time and place of such hearing, which time shall not be less than 15 days nor more than 30 days from the date of publication.
(3) However, the City Council may, after giving published notice required herein, hold such public hearing jointly with the Planning and Zoning Commission; but the City Council shall not take action until it has received the final report form the Commission.
