§ 5-102. Authority to divide territory into districts; regulations; notice and hearing.

(a)

For any and all of said purposes said board of county commissioners may divide such territory into districts of such number, shape and area as may be deemed best suited to carry out the purposes of this act [division]. All such regulations and restrictions shall be uniform for each class or kind of property and building throughout each district, but the regulations in one district may differ from those in other districts.

(b)

The said board of county commissioners is hereby authorized by resolution to establish the boundaries of such districts to promulgate regulations and restrictions to prevail therein, and from time to time to amend, supplement or to change the same. However, no such regulation, restriction or boundary or change of same shall become effective until after a public hearing in relation thereto, at which parties in interest and citizens shall have an opportunity to be heard. At least ten (10) days notice of the time and place of such hearing shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation published in said county, and if there be no such newspaper, then three (3) notices shall be posted in at least five (5) conspicuous places in such county, including the court house. The said notice shall describe the district or districts, to be affected with sufficient certainty to advise the property owners therein that their property is to be affected, but need not describe the proposed plans or details thereof. At the hearing all persons interested shall be heard for or against the proposal and any other plans or modification thereof shall receive the consideration of the said board of county commissioners. The hearing may be adjourned from time to time until some plan or proposal is adopted, or until all are rejected.
