What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Current law specifies whether a city, village, town, or county has the right to approve or object to a plat (the map of a subdivision) or certified survey map. If a subdivision or land lies in the unincorporated area within three miles of the corporate limits of a first, second, or third class city, or within one and one-half miles of a fourth class city or village, the governing body of the city or village (municipality) has the right to approve the plat or certified survey map under its extraterritorial plat approval jurisdiction, as well as the board of the town within which the subdivision or land lies and the planning agency of the county within which the subdivision or land lies if the planning agency employs on a full-time basis a professional engineer, a planner, or another person charged with administering zoning or other planning legislation.

Also under current law, the area over which a municipality has extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction is the same area over which it has extraterritorial plat approval jurisdiction. The statutes provide a process whereby a municipality and the town in which the municipality has extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction form a joint committee, which consists of three municipal members and three town members, to review any district zoning plan and regulations that the municipality is proposing for all or part of the area within its extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction. The municipality may adopt a proposed plan and regulations only if a majority of the joint committee approve the proposed plan and regulations.

Read the full summary

This bill prohibits a county from enacting any ordinance that governs the subdivision or other division of land located in an area of the extraterritorial plat approval jurisdiction of a municipality that is covered by a district zoning plan and regulations approved by a joint committee of the municipality and town within which the land is located.
