Notice shall be mailed by the applicant utilizing first class mail, and confirmed by an affidavit of mailing, to each address of record or interested party at the address shown in the city’s permit plan computerized record; provided, that the failure of any person to receive the notice required under this subsection shall not constitute cause for cancellation or continuation of any scheduled public meeting or hearing if the applicant has provided a sworn affidavit of mailing to all persons at the listed address shown on the computerized list of names provided to the applicant by the city for purposes of compliance with this subsection.
