2. A description of the action sought in the application;
3. A description of the location and a legal description of the subject parcel; and
4. The date, time and place of the hearing.

The name and address of each other owner that is to receive mailed notice shall be provided to the land use administrator by the applicant. An application is not complete until the applicant has submitted the list of the names and addresses of all such other owners. The applicant, its agents and successors, shall save, hold harmless and defend the city, its officers and employees, from and against all claims and suits based in whole or in part on the failure of the city to provide mailed notice to a person to whom mailed notice was required to be sent under this subsection if the applicant provided an incorrect address or no address for a person whose address it was the applicant’s responsibility to provide.

F. The failure of the city to fully meet each requirement of this section shall not be the basis for invalidating an action taken under this title if there was substantial compliance with at least one (1) of the forms of notice required under this section.
G. Failure of the city to fully meet each requirement for notice under any other section of this title shall not be a basis for invalidating an action taken under this title if there was substantial compliance with the other requirements. [Ord. 01-05 § 8.]
