(2) an area over which a municipality is exercising planning and
zoning authority; or
(3) a township that has joined a municipality or county under the
1200 series of this chapter;
and joinder is not precluded by section 1202 of this chapter, then it may

plan commission and the resolution of approval must be adopted by the
county legislative body.
