3-705. Procedure for adoption of zoning regulations. (1) Notice and hearing. No airport zoning regulations shall be adopted, amended, or changed under this act except by action of the governing body of the political subdivision or subdivisions in question, after a public hearing in relation thereto, at which parties in interest and citizens shall have an opportunity to be heard. At least fifteen days' notice of the hearing shall be published in an official paper, or a paper of general circulation, in such political subdivision or subdivisions.

(2) Airport zoning commission. Prior to the initial zoning of any airport hazard area under this act, the political subdivision or subdivisions which are to adopt the regulations shall appoint a commission, to be known as the airport zoning commission, to recommend the boundaries of the various zones to be established and the regulations to be adopted therefor. Such commission shall make a preliminary report and hold public hearings thereon before submitting its final report, and the governing body of the political subdivision or subdivisions shall not adopt airport zoning regulations until the final report of such commission is received. Where a city planning commission or comprehensive zoning commission already exists, it may be appointed as the airport zoning commission.

History: L. 1947, ch. 13, § 5; June 30.
