§ 12.7. Notice Requirement.

The BZA shall not grant any variance, exception or conduct any other public hearing regarding any other request without first giving written notice a minimum of fifteen (15) days prior to the proposed date of such public hearing to all owners of property located adjacent or contiguous to the boundaries of the property which is subject to the requested variance, exception or other business, as shown by the records of the office of the Tax Assessor of the applicable County on a date not more than ninety (90) days prior to the date of such notice. Such notice shall state the street address of the property, if any, which is the subject of the proposed variance, exception or other request to such proposal and that the said property owner is welcome to attend the public hearing and invited to speak on the issue if he or she so desires. Such notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the United States mail, certified mail-return receipt requested, first class postage prepaid, addressed to such property owners at their addresses as shown on the records of the office of the Tax Assessor of the applicable County on the date such owners are determined. Any error in the address of any notice shall not invalidate the giving of notice, provided that no more than five (5) percent of the total number of notices given with respect to the applicable hearing contain any such error.
