3. The notice must be published once a week for 3 consecutive weeks and must include the purpose of the hearing and the boundaries of the proposed district.
4. At the hearing any person may appear in support of or in opposition to the establishment of the district.
5. Within 15 days after the hearing the Commission shall:
(a) Establish an historic district and fix its boundaries; or
(b) Determine not to establish an historic district.
6. If an historic district is established, notice thereof must be given by one publication in a newspaper of general circulation in each county a portion of which is located within the district.

8. After an historic district is established, no house trailer, mobile home, or recreational vehicle may be placed or established in any area within the district, unless the Commission and the board of county commissioners in the appropriate county, by agreement, permit the establishment of a trailer overlay or the location of a mobile home park within the district, upon a finding that such action is needed and that it would not conflict with the historic aspect and character of the affected area.
