Before locating the business, the Department of Health and Environmental Control first must give notice to the local governing body administering the pertinent zoning laws, advising of the exact site of the proposed business.

Notice must be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipality of the proposed location of the business thirty days before a zoning hearing is conducted concerning the site of the business. Areas may not be rezoned to allow the business to be located closer to an area zoned residential."
