3109.17 Notice

(A) Each applicant for a rezoning, special permit, variance, zoning appeal, or demolition permit shall be notified of the existence of an area commission with advisory jurisdiction concerning the application and shall be advised to contact such commission. A copy of any pertinent document necessary for informed advice shall be forwarded to such area commission promptly after its receipt by the department.

(B) The director shall promptly transmit a copy of agendas or notices as issued for public hearing related to rezoning, special permits, variances, and zoning appeals, regarding property located wholly or partially within a commission area to the chairperson of the appropriate area commission as a matter of information and for comments and advice. In addition, the city clerk shall include such chairperson on the council's mailing list for agendas. However, the area commission shall be responsible for confirming that the mailing lists contain the currently appropriate name and address for proper notification. Failure of notification shall not constitute grounds for denial of a requested action or reversal of a prior decision; however, such failure may be a cause for postponement if appropriate. (Ord. 1045-98 § 4.)
