Notice of hearing for proposed district or annexation

A. In addition to any public notice given pursuant to applicable law, the County clerk shall mail notice of the council public hearing to each owner of land in the district or proposed district or annexation. The notice shall be sent to the same address to which the real property tax assessment notice is sent. When more than one person is listed as fee owner or as lessee, one notice sent to one fee owner and to one lessee, as applicable, shall be sufficient for this section. The notice shall be mailed at least fifteen days before the council public hearing and shall contain the following information: 1. A summary of the proposed ordinance and the fact that the ordinance and the district map are on file in the County clerk's office for public inspection. 2. The time and place of the public hearing on the proposed ordinance. 3. A statement that, at the hearing, the testimony of all interested persons and landowners regarding the proposed ordinance will be heard. 4. A summary of the protest procedure and the form of any protests. B. Failure to give notice to any owner or failure of any owner to receive such notice shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the public hearing or any other proceedings taken under this chapter or any special assessment levied under this chapter if the council determines that a reasonable effort was made to give such notice. The council's determination shall be final and conclusive. C. At the conclusion of the hearing, the council, after considering all protests and such other relevant factors (such as the general plan or community plan) as it deems appropriate, may approve the proposed ordinance.
