The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  Section 94 of the Charter of the City of Durham, being Chapter 671 of the 1975 Session Laws, reads as rewritten:
"Sec. 94. Notice of Public Hearings; Other Notices.  –(a)	Before adopting or amending any ordinances authorized by Article 19 of Chapter 160A of the General Statutes, the City Council shall hold a public hearing in accordance with G.S. 160A-364, which notice shall be published the first time not less than 10 days nor more than 25 days before the date fixed for the hearing.
(b)	For changes in the text of the zoning ordinance that do not change the zoning designation or range or uses for a property from one zoning category to a different category, in lieu of complying with G.S. 160A-384 the City may publish notice twice in accordance with G.S. 160A-364.
(c)	For text changes that reclassify property from one zone to another or change the range of uses to a different set of uses, or for the adoption of overlay zones, including a water supply protection program under G.S. 143-214.5, the City may publish two display ads in lieu of complying with G.S. 160A-384.
(d)	For a change in the zoning map that affects the base zoning of more than 50 properties owned by 50 different owners, the City may give individual mailed notice to such property owners under G.S. 160A-384(a) and may give notice under G.S. 160A-364 in lieu of complying with G.S. 160A-384(b).
(e)	Where the City annexes land and proposes to maintain the same zoning classification, the land held in Durham County, in lieu of complying with G.S. 160A-364 and G.S. 160A-384(a) and (b), the City may either include notice of the proposed zoning in the annexation notice mailed to such owners pursuant to G.S. 160A-49, or alternatively, may publish notice in accordance with G.S. 160A-364."
