§ 33452. Notice of the hearing shall be published pursuant to Section 6063 of the Governme

(a) Notice of the hearing shall be published pursuant to Section 6063 of the Government Code prior to the date of hearing in a newspaper of general circulation, printed and published in the community, or, if there is none, in a newspaper selected by the agency. The notice of hearing shall include a legal description of the boundaries of the project area by reference to the description recorded with the county recorder pursuant to Section 33373 and of the boundaries of the land proposed to be added to the project area, if any, and a general statement of the purpose of the amendment. (b) Copies of the notices published pursuant to this section shall be mailed by first-class mail, to the last known assessee of each parcel of land not owned by the agency within the boundaries referred to in subdivision (a), at his or her last known address as shown on the last equalized assessment roll of the county; or where a city assesses, levies, and collects its own taxes, as shown on the last equalized assessment roll of the city; or to the owner of each parcel of land within these boundaries as the ownership is shown on the records of the county recorder 30 days prior to the date the notice is published, and to persons, firms, or corporations which have acquired property within these boundaries from the agency, at his or her last known address as shown by the records of the agency. (c) (1) Copies of the notice published pursuant to this section shall be mailed, by first-class mail, to all residents and businesses within the project area designated in the redevelopment plan as proposed to be amended at least 30 days prior to the hearing. (2) The mailed notice requirement of this subdivision shall only apply when mailing addresses to all individuals and businesses, or to all occupants, are obtained by the agency at a reasonable cost. The notice may be addresses to “occupant.” If the agency acted in good faith to comply with the notice requirements of this subdivision, the failure of the agency to provide the required notice to residents or businesses unknown to the agency or whose addresses cannot be obtained at a reasonable cost, shall not, in and of itself, invalidate an amendment to a redevelopment plan. (d) Copies of the notices published pursuant to this section shall also be mailed to the governing body of each of the taxing agencies that levies taxes upon any property in the project area designated in the redevelopment plan as proposed to be amended. Notices sent pursuant to this subdivision shall be mailed by certified mail with return receipt requested.
