A. Upon receipt of a complete application for an amendment to the text of this title or to the official map, the land use administrator shall set a date for a public hearing before the planning commission. The public hearing shall be scheduled no sooner than twenty (20) calendar days and no later than fifty (50) calendar days from the date of acceptance of a complete application.

B. Notice of the public hearing on a proposed text or map amendment shall be published once a week for at least two (2) consecutive weeks preceding the public hearing in a newspaper of general circulation in the city or posted at City Hall and in at least three (3) public places at least two (2) weeks before the public hearing. If notice is published in a newspaper, the last publication shall be on the day of the hearing or any day that is within fourteen (14) days of the hearing. The notice shall also be delivered to a local radio station five (5) days prior to the scheduled hearing for use on public announcements. The notice shall include a brief description of the amendment or redesignation. Failure to provide one (1) or more of the forms of notice does not invalidate action of the planning commission on the matter so long as there is substantial compliance with either the posting or the publication requirement.

C. If an amendment of the official map is involved and the area proposed for redesignation is small or involves only a few lots, the planning administrator should, but is not required to, send written notice of the hearing to owners of land that is within three hundred (300) feet of the boundaries of the area proposed for redesignation and may send notice to owners of land beyond the three-hundred- (300-) foot boundary.
