1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“The requirements as to the giving of such notices of a hearing upon a petition for an amendment or a change in the zoning regulations must be substantially complied with, [citing authorities from other jurisdictions] ....

Clearly this notice was not misleading and it gave the necessary information to the interested parties. (emphasis added)”
