An Act to revise a notice requirement for a hearing on the comprehensive plan in a joint jurisdictional area.

Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of South Dakota:

Section 1. That § 11-6-10 be AMENDED:

11-6-10. The legislative body of an incorporated municipality and a board of county commissioners may jointly exercise the comprehensive planning and zoning powers granted in this chapter and chapters 11-2 and 11-4 in a joint jurisdictional area beyond the municipal corporate limits. The joint jurisdictional area, not to exceed six miles, shall be delineated in a comprehensive plan but in no instance may the area extend beyond a line equidistant from the corporate limits of any other municipality unless otherwise agreed to by a majority vote of the governing body of each municipality having a planning commission. Nothing contained in this chapter may be construed to amend or repeal any provisions of chapter 49-34A.

The county and city planning commissions shall meet jointly and hold at least one public hearing on the comprehensive plan. Notice of the time and place of the hearing shall be given once by either the city or county at least ten days in advance by publication in a legal newspaper. In addition, the board of county commissioners shall mail, at least ten days in advance of the hearing, a copy of the notice by first class or certified mail, addressed to the owner of any property within the proposed joint jurisdictional area. Following the public hearing, each planning commission shall submit a recommendation to their respective governing body.
