Public hearing prior to amendment.

A. Before voting on the enactment of any amendment, the Board of Supervisors shall hold a public hearing pursuant to public notice. Public notice shall be notice published once for two consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in Doylestown Township. Such notice shall state the date, time and place of hearing, the particular nature of the matter to be considered at the hearing and the full text of the amendment or a brief summary setting forth the general provisions in reasonable detail. The first publication shall be no more than 30 days and the second publication not less than seven days from the date of the hearing. Procedures relating to the publication, advertisement and availability of proposed amendments shall be in accordance with Section 610 of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, as amended. If the proposed amendment involves a Zoning Map change, notice of said public hearing shall be conspicuously posted by the Township at points deemed sufficient to the Township along the perimeter of the tract to notify potentially interested citizens. The affected tract or area shall be posted at least one week prior to the date of the hearing.

B. If, after any public hearing held upon an amendment, the proposed amendment changes substantially or is revised to include land previously not affected by it, the Board of Supervisors shall hold another public hearing pursuant to public notice before proceeding to vote on the amendment. In the event that substantial amendments are made in the proposed ordinance or amendment, before voting upon enactment the Board of Supervisors shall, at least 10 days prior to enactment, readvertise, in one newspaper of general circulation in the Township, a brief summary setting forth all the provisions, in reasonable detail, together with a summary of the amendments.
