A. Hearings: When a public hearing involving the Comprehensive Plan, zoning or subdivision regulations is required by this Code or by a Minnesota statute, the Planning Commission shall hold the public hearing. All parties interested shall be given an opportunity to be heard. The Planning Commission, after citing the reason, may request the City Council to extend the review period for up to 60 days.
B. Notice: Notice of the time and place of such hearing shall be published in the designated legal newspaper no less than ten nor more than thirty days prior to the hearing. In the event the hearing involves a particular parcel of land, mailed notice shall be given by the City to the owner and each of the property owners within 500 feet of the outside boundaries of the parcel and to State, County, and Federal agencies, if applicable. Failure to mail notice or failure of the property owner to receive the notice shall not invalidate the proceedings. (Ord. 1357, 1-14-2008)
C. Council Hearings: The City Council shall hold further hearings using the notice procedure in subsection B of this Section only in the event that such hearings are required by other sections of this Code, by State statute, or because the Planning Commission has failed to hold the required hearing or make a recommendation. If not previously done in response to a Planning Commission request, the City Council may extend the review period for up to 60 days. Failure to receive a report from the Planning Commission as herein provided shall not invalidate the proceedings or action of the City Council. (Ord. 1175A, 11-25-1996)
