Prezoning of any area adjoining the City shall be initiated and adopted in the same manner as provided in Article 49 (Amendments) for the amendment of this ordinance, with the additional requirement that notice of any public hearing held in connection with a proposal for prezoning shall be mailed to every owner of property in the area proposed for zoning as shown on the most recent tax rolls ten (10) days prior to the time set for the hearing.
