change in regulations or restrictions or the zoning classification
or zoning district boundaries of the property shall be published in
an official newspaper or a newspaper of general circulation within
the City of Platte City.
5. If the proposed amendment will affect the zoning classification of
a specific property, the applicant shall mail a written notice of
the public hearing thereon, return receipt requested, containing the
same information as the published notice thereof, to the owner or
owners of the property affected and to the owners of all property
within two hundred (200) feet of the boundaries thereof at least fifteen

of the Planning Commission at least three (3) days before the date
set for the public hearing.
11. Upon the conclusion of the public hearing, the Planning Commission
shall prepare and adopt its recommendations and shall submit the same,
together with a record of a hearing thereon, to the Governing Body.
Said recommendation may be for approval, disapproval or approval in
part and shall contain reasons for such recommendation.

amendment and determinations as to the following items:
a. Whether such change is consistent with the intent and purpose of
these regulations;
b. The areas which are most likely to be directly affected by such change
