HB 2498 modifies the requirements for membership of a county zoning and planning commission.

History

A county planning and zoning commission is formed to consult and advise a county board of supervisors on matters regarding planning, zoning and subdivision platting.

Current law stipulates that in counties having three supervisorial districts, the commission shall be made up of three members from each district. Not more than one of the three members from a district may be a resident of an incorporated municipality.

In counties having five supervisorial districts, the commission shall be made up of two members from each district. Under current law, in districts that are less than 60 percent incorporated, one member must be a resident of an unincorporated area and the other member must be a resident of an incorporated area.

Provisions

· Stipulates that not more than one of the three members from a supervisorial district may be a resident of an incorporated area.

· Requires that at least one of the two members from a supervisorial district that is less than 60 percent incorporated shall be a resident of an unincorporated area.
