Summary
The bill permits eligible counties to adopt a resolution that bars any city or regional planning commission from applying zoning rules outside the city’s borders. It only applies to counties with fewer than 341,500 residents and that do not have a metropolitan form of government. Existing zoning ordinances that extend beyond municipal limits become void, though counties and cities may still cooperate through agreements.
