What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a county may create a county zoning agency, which is a policy-making body in the county that determines the broad outlines and principles governing the county's administrative zoning powers. The county agency may direct the preparation of a county development plan. Currently, if a county creates a development plan, the plan must include a master plan adopted by a city, or village.
If one exists, it must also include, without changes, the city's or village's official map.

Under this bill, the inclusion of a city's or village's master plan in a county development plan is optional. The bill also eliminates the requirement that any official map be included without changes.
