changes and reclassifications.

A. Except as authorized in subsection B of this section, in

addition to the notice requirements provided for in Section 43-104

of this title, notice of a public hearing on any proposed zoning

change, except by a municipality acting pursuant to subsection B of

this section, shall be given twenty (20) days prior to the hearing

by mailing written notice by the secretary of the planning

commission, or by the municipal clerk if there is no planning

commission, to all the owners of real property as provided for in

Section 43-105 of this title. In addition to the notice required in

this subsection, if the zoning change requested permits the use of

treatment facilities, multiple family facilities, transitional

living facilities, halfway houses and any housing or facility that

may be used for medical or nonmedical detoxification as these terms

are defined pursuant to Section 3-403 of Title 43A of the Oklahoma

Statutes, the entity proposing the zoning change shall mail a

written notice within thirty (30) days of the hearing to all real

property owners within one-quarter (1/4) of a mile where the area to

be affected is located and shall be responsible for all costs

incurred in mailing this notice. The notice shall contain the:

1. Legal description of the property and the street address or

approximate location in the municipality;

2. Present zoning of the property and the zoning sought by the

applicant; and

3. Date, time, and place of the public hearing.

In addition to written notice requirements, notice may also be given

by posting notice of the hearing on the affected property at least

twenty (20) days before the date of the hearing.

For purposes of this subsection, "entity" means any individual,

corporation, company, firm, partnership, association, trust, state

agency, government instrumentality or agency, institution, county,

incorporated municipality or municipal authority or trust in which

any governmental entity is a beneficiary, venture, or other legal

entity however organized.

B. If a municipality proposes zoning reclassifications in order

to revise its comprehensive plan or official map or to identify

areas which require specific land use development due to topography,

geography, or other distinguishing features, including but not

limited to floodplain, drainage, historic preservation, and blighted

areas, the governing body may require, in addition to the notice

requirements provided for in Section 43-104 of this title, a sign to

be posted on designated properties within the area affected by the

proposed zoning reclassification. The sign and the lettering

thereon shall be of sufficient size so as to be clearly visible and

legible from the public street or streets toward which it faces.

The notice shall state:

1. The date, time, and place of the public hearing;

2. Who will conduct the public hearing;

3. The desired zoning classification;

4. The proposed use of the property; and

5. Other information as may be necessary to provide adequate

and timely public notice.
