ARTICLE I. IN GENERAL 

Sec. 24.1-116. Posting of notices of public hearing.

The zoning administrator shall cause notice to be posted on properties for applications made under this chapter. The filing of an application shall be deemed to grant approval to the county for posting of notice on the subject property.

(a) The notice shall be posted at least seven (7) days prior to public hearings on the subject property along every street frontage, or, if there is no abutting street, then in an appropriate location to ensure visibility from public roads or adjacent occupied property.

(b) Posting of notices shall be reasonably attempted, but shall not be required when:

(1) the hearing involves an application for an amendment to the zoning map involving twenty-six (26) or more parcels of land initiated by action of the commission or board; or

(2) the hearing involves an application for a special use permit or zoning appeal involving twenty-six (26) or more parcels of land.

(c) Posting of notices shall not be required when:

(1) the hearing involves an application for a comprehensive amendment to the zoning map initiated by action of the commission or board; or

(2) the zoning administrator determines that posting notice is impractical and will not facilitate the public dissemination of information.

(d) The inadvertent failure to post notices, or the inadvertent placement of notices on other than the subject property shall not be deemed to invalidate any action of the commission, board of zoning appeals or board concerning the subject application.
