• A map or written description of the neighborhood boundaries.

• A list of the officers in the association, including their address and phone number.

• A signed copy of the adopted by-laws.

• A regular meeting location and a regular meeting date.

• Date the association was founded.

An applicant shall be entitled to rely on the above-referenced information for purposes of preparing any notices or otherwise contacting neighborhood associations where required by this chapter.

(c)

Effect of Neighborhood Registry. When a neighborhood association has been registered as provided herein, the department of development services shall notify the neighborhood association of any application for rezoning or planned unit development plan filed within the boundaries of a registered neighborhood association or within two hundred (200) feet of the site boundary. Individual citizens who reside outside the two hundred-feet notice required by this chapter, but within the boundaries of a registered neighborhood association are considered notified when any such notification is sent to the neighborhood association within two hundred (200) feet of the subject site. This notice is a courtesy and hearings may proceed despite claims of a lack of notice.
