§ 36-7-4-203 — Establishment; exercise of planning and zoning authority

(a) ADVISORY. After a metropolitan plan
commission is established, it shall exercise exclusively the planning
and zoning functions of the county and of the second class city, and the
separate planning and zoning functions of the county plan commission
and the city plan commission cease.
(b) AREA. After the planning department is established and the
participating legislative bodies have adopted a zoning ordinance, the
planning department shall exercise exclusively the planning and zoning
functions of the county and of the participating municipalities, except
as provided in section 901(i) of this chapter. Where other statutes
confer planning and zoning authority on a participating municipality or
a county, their plan commissions shall continue to exercise that
authority until such time as the planning department is established and
the participating legislative bodies adopt a zoning ordinance.
