The Land Use Application Form shall be filed with the Zoning Administrator. The request for amendment shall be placed on the agenda of the Planning and Zoning Board according to the City's deadline and meeting schedule. The request shall be considered officially submitted and the application approval time line commences when all the information requirements are complied with. B. Property owners or occupants within six hundred (600) feet of any property proposed for zoning district amendment (rezoning) shall be notified in writing, although failure by any property owner to receive notification shall not invalidate the proceedings, provided that proof of an attempt at notification has been made.

Such notification shall include the Affidavit of Mailing completed by the City and a list of all persons who have been notified pursuant to this section. In the case of rezoning shoreland, as defined by Lino Lakes Ordinance, all property owners or occupants of property, which abut the shoreline, shall be notified in writing of any property proposed for any zoning district amendment (rezoning), even though their property may be beyond the six hundred (600) feet previously contemplated in this section.
