Also under this bill, a town board that is authorized to exercise village powers
may enact an ordinance withdrawing from coverage of a county zoning ordinance
and a county development plan. The ordinance may not take effect unless the town
clerk notifies the county clerk of the proposed ordinance and the town enacts, and
sends copies to the county clerk, a town zoning ordinance, a comprehensive plan, and
an official map. If a town does withdraw from county zoning, however, it is still
subject to a county shorelands zoning ordinance. In addition, a town must provide
the same level of enforcement of its zoning ordinance that the county formerly
provided. County board approval of a town zoning ordinance is not required if the
town has withdrawn from county zoning.
Currently, the county development plan may be adopted, and amended, by the
county board and may be endorsed by the governing bodies of the incorporated
jurisdictions (cities and villages) included in the plan. Under the bill, the plan may
be adopted by a majority of the members-elect of the county board, but the plan may
be so amended only if the proposed amendment is endorsed by the governing bodies
of the unincorporated and incorporated jurisdictions included in the plan.
Current law authorizes a county board to repeal an existing county zoning
ordinance and reenact a comprehensive revision by a single ordinance. Under this
bill, a county is required, approximately every ten years, to repeal an existing county
zoning ordinance and reenact a comprehensive revision by a single ordinance.
Current law requires that the county development plan include the master plan
and official map of a city or village in the county, and that a city or village master plan
and official map control in the city's or village's extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction
over a county development plan that affects that same area. A city's or village's
extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction consists of unincorporated areas (town or county
territory) within three miles of the corporate limits of a first, second, or third class
city or within one and a half miles of a fourth class city or a village. Under the bill,
a town and a city or village may agree that the city or village may exercise
extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction over the entire town. This bill also limits a city's
and village's extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction to those towns that have not enacted
a master plan and to town territory that is not covered by a cooperative boundary
agreement to which the town and the city or village are parties.
Also under the bill, if a territory has received final plat approval from a town
or county and if after that approval the territory comes within the extraterritorial

zoning jurisdiction of a city or village, no city or village zoning ordinances may apply
to the territory if the application of the ordinances would preclude the developer from
developing his or her land in accordance with the final plat approval for five years
after the territory received town or county final plat approval. Current law also
allows a town to adopt an official map under certain situations if the town is located
in a county that has not enacted a county zoning ordinance.
This bill authorizes a town that may exercise village powers to adopt an official
map at any time. The bill requires that a county development plan include both the
official map of any town in the county that has adopted a comprehensive plan and
the comprehensive plan. Also under the bill, a city's or village's master plan and
official map control in the city's or village's extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction only
if an official town map is not part of the county development plan.
This bill authorizes the creation of a joint planning body (JPB) to approve or
reject an applicant's request for a zoning permit or other zoning approval in areas
that are subject to both town and county zoning ordinances and not subject to a
cooperative boundary agreement. A JPB is convened upon the request of such an
applicant. The JPB consists of three members appointed by the county and three
members appointed by the town. After issuing its written decision to approve or
reject the applicant's request, the JPB is disbanded. An approval of the request
constitutes final approval of the county and the town.
The bill also requires, to the greatest extent possible, that at least one member
of a county board of adjustment attend each meeting in the county of a town plan
commission, and requires the plan commission to provide board of adjustment
members with as much advance notice of its meetings as possible.
Under current law if two or more governing bodies or agencies have the
authority to approve or object to a plat and the requirements of the bodies or agencies
conflict, the plat must comply with the most restrictive requirement. This bill
qualifies this provision by allowing a county to object to a town plat only if the plat
is subject to a county plan or a boundary agreement to which the county is a party.
For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.

11extraterritorial zoning jurisdictions overlap, the provisions of s. 66.0105 shall apply

21comprehensive zoning ordinance for all or part of its extraterritorial zoning
22jurisdiction by the publication of the resolution in a newspaper having general
23circulation in the area proposed to be zoned, as a class 1 notice, under ch. 985. The
24city clerk shall mail a certified copy of the resolution and a scale map reasonably
25showing the boundaries of the extraterritorial jurisdiction to the clerk of the county

1in which the extraterritorial jurisdiction area is located and to the town clerk of each
2town, any part of which is included in such area.

7a city or village, no city or village extraterritorial zoning ordinance enacted under
8this subsection may apply to that territory sooner than the first day of the 60th
