Text

The board of county commissioners of any county desiring to avail itself of the powers
conferred by this chapter shall establish, by resolution, a county planning commission to
recommend the boundaries of the various county zoning districts and appropriate regulations
and restrictions to be established therein. In counties with three-member boards of county
commissioners, the planning commission consists of seven members, of whom at least one
must be appointed from the governing body of the city that is the county seat, and of whom at
most one may be appointed from the board of county commissioners. In counties with
five-member boards of county commissioners the planning commission consists of nine
members, of whom at least two must be appointed from the governing body of the city that is
the county seat, and of whom at most two may be appointed from the board of county
commissioners. The term of an ex officio member is coterminous with the member's term in the
underlying office. The remaining members shall be appointed from the county at large. In

counties that elect county commissioners from districts, at least one at large member of the
planning commission must be appointed from each district. When appointments to said
commission are first made, three members at large shall be appointed for a two-year term and
two members at large for a four-year term, after which all subsequent appointments for
members at large shall be for a four-year term. Appointments to fill vacancies shall be for the
unexpired portion of the term. All appointments to the county planning commission shall be
made by the board of county commissioners.
