§ 1356. Public hearing notices—Sign on property.

(a)

Requirement and locations. The applicant shall be required to post and maintain signs supplied by the county near the right-of-way of the nearest public street, so as to be visible from the street preceding the date of the planning commission's public hearing and for at least 15 days and not more than 45 days immediately preceding the date for the board of commissioners public hearing on the special use application. One such sign shall be placed in a conspicuous location along each street frontage of the property for which the rezoning approval has been requested. If the property has no street frontage, the sign shall be placed on each street where access to the property will be gained.

(b)

Content. The sign providing notice shall state the time, place, and purpose of the public hearing and shall include the location of the property. In addition, the notice shall include the proposed special use of the property.

(c)

Time period. It is the responsibility of the applicant to post the signs and to maintain the signs during the posting period. Said signs pertaining to the board of commissioners' public hearing shall remain posted until a final decision by the board of commissioners has been rendered.

(d)

Consequences of non-maintenance. Failure to post and maintain the signs continuously may prohibit consideration of the application at any scheduled public hearing. In the event the signs are not posted continuously, the county, in its sole discretion, may require the reposting and readvertising prior to any future public hearing, for which the applicant shall pay an additional readvertising fee. The county may also in its sole discretion, continue, hold, or dismiss the application if public notice requirements are not met due to applicant non-maintenance of the required public notice sign(s) on the property.
