When in any planning unit except for a planning unit containing a city of the first class or a consolidated local government, a hearing is scheduled on a proposal by a property owner to amend any zoning map, the following notice shall be given in addition to any other notice required by statute, local regulation, or ordinance:

1. (1) Notice of the hearing shall be posted conspicuously on the property the classification of which is proposed to be changed for fourteen (14) consecutive days immediately prior to the hearing. Posting shall be as follows:

   1. (a) The sign shall state "zoning change" and the proposed classification change in letters three (3) inches in height. The time, place, and date of hearing shall be in letters at least one (1) inch in height; and
   2. (b) The sign shall be constructed of durable material and shall state the telephone number of the appropriate zoning commission; and

2. (2) Notice of the hearing shall be given at least fourteen (14) days in advance of the hearing by first-class mail, with certification by the commission secretary or other officer of the planning commission that the notice was mailed to an owner of every parcel of property adjoining the property the classification of which is proposed to be changed. It shall be the duty of the person or persons proposing the map amendment to furnish to the planning commission the names and addresses of the owners of all adjoining property. Records maintained by the property valuation administrator may be relied upon conclusively to determine the identity and address of the owner.

   1. (a) If the adjoining property is part of a planning unit, notice shall be given to that unit's planning commission; or If the adjoining property is not part of a planning unit, notice shall be given to the mayor of the city in which the property is located or, if the property is in an unincorporated area, notice shall be given to the judge/executive of the county in which the property is located.
