Regular Session 2016

Title

Planning and zoning subdivisions, jurisdictional limits revised, municipality's authority to override county's enforcement of regulation of subdivisions, revised, Sec. 11-52-30 am'd.

Description

Under existing law, in all counties having a population of 600,000 or more inhabitants, the county planning and zoning commission has certain powers and duties, including certain territorial jurisdiction limitations and the county commission of the county may establish minimum specifications and regulations governing the lay-out, grading, and paving of all streets, avenues, and alleys and the construction or installation of all water, sewer, or drainage pipes or lines in any subdivision.

This bill would reduce the population threshold to 300,000 or more inhabitants and would remove certain exceptions relating to the exercise of certain zoning jurisdiction and control by municipalities.

This bill would also remove certain provisions allowing the governing body of a municipality and the municipal planning commission to override the county's enforcement of the regulation of subdivisions within the planning jurisdiction under certain conditions.
