(a)
When a provision of this title requires notice of a public hearing to be given pursuant to this section, notice shall be given in all of the following ways:
(1)
Notice of the hearing shall be mailed or delivered at least 10 days prior to the hearing to the owner of the subject real property as shown on the latest equalized assessment roll. Instead of using the assessment roll, the local agency may use records of the county assessor or tax collector if those records contain more recent information than the information contained on the assessment roll. Notice shall also be mailed to the owner’s duly authorized agent, if any, and to the project applicant.
(2)
When the Subdivision Map Act (Division 2 (commencing with Section 66410) of Title 7) requires notice of a public hearing to be given pursuant to this section, notice shall also be given to any owner of a mineral right pertaining to the subject real property who has recorded a notice of intent to preserve the mineral right pursuant to Section 883.230 of the Civil Code.
(3)
Notice of the hearing shall be mailed or delivered at least 10 days prior to the hearing to each local agency expected to provide water, sewage, streets, roads, schools, or other essential facilities or services to the project, whose ability to provide those facilities and services may be significantly affected.
(4)
Notice of the hearing shall be mailed or delivered at least 10 days prior to the hearing to all owners of real property as shown on
the latest equalized assessment roll within 300 feet of the real property that is the subject of the hearing. In lieu of using the assessment roll, the local agency may use records of the county assessor or tax collector which contain more recent information than the assessment roll. If the number of owners to whom notice would be mailed or delivered pursuant to this paragraph or paragraph (1) is greater than 1,000, a local agency, in lieu of mailed or delivered notice, may provide notice by placing a display advertisement of at least one-eighth page in at least one newspaper of general circulation within the local agency in which the proceeding is conducted at least 10 days prior to the hearing.
(5)
If the notice is mailed or delivered pursuant to paragraph (4), the notice shall also either be:
(A)
Published pursuant to Section 6061 in at least one newspaper of general
circulation within the local agency which is conducting the proceeding at least 10 days prior to the hearing.
(B)
Posted at least 10 days prior to the hearing in at least three public places within the boundaries of the local agency, including one public place in the area directly affected by the proceeding.
(b)
The notice shall include the information specified in Section 65094.
(c)
In addition to the notice required by this section, a local agency may give notice of the hearing in any other manner it deems necessary or desirable.
(d)
Whenever a hearing is held regarding a permit for a drive-through facility, or modification of an existing drive-through facility permit, the local agency shall incorporate, where necessary, notice procedures to the
blind, aged, and disabled communities in order to facilitate their participation in any hearing on, or appeal of the denial of, a drive-through facility permit. The Legislature finds that access restrictions to commercial establishments affecting the blind, aged, or disabled, is a critical statewide problem; therefore, this subdivision shall be applicable to charter cities.
