Sec. 18-1534.3. - DETAILED NOTICE PROVISIONS.

(A)

TIMING OF NOTICE. The "Timing of Notice" column in the above table refers to the number of calendar days prior to the date of the public hearing, not including the date of the hearing, that:

The newspaper ad must appear in the newspaper;

The sign(s) must be posted;

Mail notices must be mailed; and

Posting at City Hall should occur, provided that the minimum posting requirement at City Hall shall be five (5) business days prior to the public hearing, unless this timeframe is greater as provided by law.

(B)

SIGN NOTICES.

Posting Requirements. Where sign posting is required by Section 18-1534.2, above, the City shall be responsible for posting a sign along all street frontages of the property that is the subject of a public hearing hereunder. The sign shall be posted between ten (10) and twenty (20) feet from the edge of street pavement in a manner so as to be visible from the adjacent street. The sign shall be at least two (2) square feet in area, and shall contain substantially the following language:

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
[Application type] (i.e. Rezoning, Conditional Use, etc.)
Date:
Time:
For Information Call: (Planning and Development Services main number)

Multiple Subject Lots. If multiple lots are the subject of an application for City approval where sign posting is required, sign posting of a sign on every lot is not required. The number and location of sign postings that are sufficient to accomplish the intent of this Section shall be determined by the Planning and Development Services Director.

Large Subject Lots. For subject properties having more than five hundred (500) feet of street frontage on any one (1) street, one (1) additional sign shall be posted for each five hundred (500) feet or fraction thereof.

Area-Wide Amendments. Sign posting shall not be required for area-wide amendments to the Land Use Plan Map or Official Zoning Map initiated by the City.

(C)

MAIL NOTICES.

Mail notice shall be sent to the owner(s) of the subject property(ies), as well as the petitioner(s).

The mail notice shall contain substantially the same information as provided in the newspaper advertisement for the same application.

Mail notice shall be sent to the owner(s) of all properties located within the applicable radius, including those properties outside of the City's boundaries.

Mail notices shall be sent U.S. Mail, postage-paid, to the persons shown on the current tax rolls of Pinellas County to be the respective owners unless there is actual knowledge of a subsequent property owner.

Mail notice is a courtesy that the City provides to supplement other forms of notice. Therefore, the mailing of such notices shall constitute service. Non-receipt of mail notice by any property owner within the required mailing radius for any reason does not constitute grounds for re-advertising or conducting additional public hearings, and shall not affect any action or proceeding taken.

Mail notice shall not be required for any City-initiated amendment to the Land Use Plan Map or Official Zoning Map if the Planning and Development Services Director determines that more than one (1) percent of the number of properties or households, whichever is less, within the City would be affected by such amendment.

The mail notice radius shall be measured from the property lines of the subject property(ies).

(D)

NEWSPAPER NOTICES. All required newspaper ads shall be placed in one (1) or more newspapers of general paid circulation in Pinellas County, and of general interest and readership in the community, not one of limited subject matter. Standard newspaper advertisements shall contain all information required by law for such advertisements.

Comprehensive Plan (text and Land Use Plan Map) amendments, Code amendments changing the list of permitted, prohibited and conditional uses of land, and re-zonings involving ten (10) contiguous acres or more, are specifically regulated by F.S. ch. 166.041, as may be amended from time to time. Such ads shall not be placed within the legal ads section of the newspaper, shall be two (2) columns in width by ten (10) inches in length, shall prominently state "NOTICE OF (Type of) CHANGE" or similar in eighteen (18) point type, and shall include a location map as applicable.
