CHAPTER 60 - INTRODUCTORY PROVISIONS

60.630 PROCEDURE FOR MAILED NOTICE:

Notice Required. Unless otherwise provided, addresses for a mailed notice required by this ordinance shall be obtained from the County's real property tax records. Mailed notice shall be sent out by the Planning Department at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the day of the hearing. Notice shall be provided to:
1. All owners of property within 500 feet of the property subject to the application, provided that no fewer than 50 distinct property owners shall be notified;
2. Any township included within or adjacent to the property subject to the application; and
3. The City Council.

Omissions. Unless the address is on the file with the zoning administrator, a person whose name is not in the tax records at the time of filing of an application, or of initiating other action not based on an application, need not be furnished mailed notice. The failure of a property owner to receive notice shall not invalidate an action if a good faith attempt was made to comply with the requirements of this ordinance for notice. If any omission or defect in the mailing is brought to the attention of the hearing body, either at or prior to the hearing, the hearing body shall consider the defect prior to proceeding on the application. If it is found the omission or defect impaired a surrounding property owner's ability to participate in a public hearing, then the hearing body shall continue the hearing on the proposed application for at least ten (10) days. Any omission or defect which is not brought to the attention of the hearing body, or which is found not to have impaired the ability of a surrounding property owner to participate, shall in no way impair the validity of the proceedings on the proposed application.
