A municipality's governing body must hold a public hearing at least 90 days before beginning the conversion and provide notice by mail to residences and businesses within a one-mile radius of the property at least 36 hours before the hearing. If the governing body fails to comply, affected individuals can seek injunctive relief in district court.
