Step 2.

The Planning and Development Department will arrange for publication of the “Notice of a Public Hearing” in a local newspaper per requirements set out in Section 405.980 of the Republic Zoning Code.  This notice will indicate the date of the Public Hearings and must be published at least 15 days prior to the first Public Hearing.  The applicant will be billed for the publication costs by the newspaper. The City will notify by certified return receipt mail all property owners within one hundred eighty-five feet (185’) of the property sought for rezoning.

Step 3. 

The first Public Hearing will be scheduled at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission.  At the Public Hearing all interested parties may appear and speak in favor or to protest the special use. Then the Planning and Zoning Committee will vote on a “yes” or “no” recommendation to the Republic City Council

Step 4.
 
At the second Public Hearing held by the City Council, the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission shall be announced and considered by the City Council and the applicant and other interested persons may be heard on the proposed special use. Once the City Council has had a chance to hear input from those notified and anyone else, which may be affected, it will be brought to vote on the ordinance first reading.

Step 5. 

At the following regular scheduled meeting of the Republic City Council the ordinance will have a second reading and vote. If the vote is in favor of the ordinance it is then signed by the appropriate City officials and is in full force and effect from that day forward.
