establish a zoning board for each township within the county. The board shall
consist of (1) four members who shall be appointed by the board of county
commissioners and who shall be residents of the unincorporated area of the
county and (2) the township trustee of each township in the county if the
trustee gives written consent to serve on the zoning board. If the trustee
fails to give consent to serve on the zoning board, the board of county
commissioners shall appoint a resident of such township to serve in the
trustee's place. Any person appointed to serve in a trustee's place shall
hold the position on the zoning board as long as such trustee serves on the
township board.
The board of county commissioners, by resolution, may establish a
planning commission for the county and shall fix the number of members on
the commission. The commission shall consist of not less than nine nor more
than 12 members who shall be appointed by the board of county
commissioners. Nine of such members shall be residents of the
unincorporated area of the county. The planning
commission shall consist of one member of each zoning board in the county,
as appointed by the board of county commissioners.
The members first appointed by the board of county commissioners to
either a zoning board or the planning commission shall be appointed for
terms of one, two and three years. The terms shall be divided equally or as
nearly equally as possible among the members. Thereafter members shall be
appointed for terms of three years each. All members shall serve until
their successors are appointed and qualified. Vacancies shall be filled by
appointment by the board of county commissioners for the unexpired term.
Members shall serve without compensation for their services but may receive
such traveling expenses as the board of county commissioners authorizes
which shall be paid from any funds available for such
purpose.
(b) Each zoning board and the planning commission shall meet at such time
and place as they may fix by resolution, with the approval of the board of
county commissioners. They shall select one of their number as chairperson
and one as vice-chairperson who shall serve one year terms and until their
successor has been selected. The board of county commissioners shall employ
a secretary for the planning commission and each zoning board. The
secretary shall keep a proper record of the proceedings of any such board
or commission. Special meetings may be called at any time by the
chairperson or in the chairperson's absence by the vice-chairperson. A
majority of any such board or commission shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business. Each zoning board and the planning commission
shall cause a proper record to be kept of its proceedings.
Each zoning board and the planning commission shall make and adopt, with
the approval of the board of county commissioners, rules for the
transaction of its business.
The board of county commissioners may employ any employees it deems
necessary for the work of any zoning board or the planning commission and may
contract with planners and other consultants for such services as it
requires and may incur other necessary expenses. The expenditures of county
funds for the payment of costs and expenses of the zoning boards and the
planning commission shall at no time be in excess of the amounts budgeted
and appropriated for that purpose by the board of county commissioners.
Each zoning board and the planning commission shall perform any
additional duties that the board of county commissioners prescribes and, in
all cases, shall be subject to the jurisdiction and under the control and
approval of the board of county commissioners.
(c) The board of county commissioners, by resolution, may appoint one or
more consolidated zoning boards for two or more townships, or portions
thereof, within the county. Such resolution shall give notice of the date
and time of a public hearing to be
held on the proposed consolidation and shall be published once each week
for two consecutive weeks in the official county newspaper. The second
publication shall be no sooner than 10 days prior to the public hearing.
Any consolidated boards shall consist of not
less than five nor more than nine members who shall be residents of the
townships, or portions thereof, included in the territory which is subject
to the consolidated boards' jurisdiction. Membership in the board shall be
determined by the board of county commissioners. The members first
appointed by the board of county commissioners shall be appointed for terms
of one, two and three years. The terms shall be divided equally or as
nearly equally as possible among the members. Thereafter members shall be
appointed for terms of three years each. All members shall serve until
their successors are appointed and qualified. Vacancies shall be filled by
appointment by the board of county commissioners for the unexpired term.
Members shall serve without compensation for their services, but may
receive such traveling expenses as the board of county commissioners
authorizes which shall be paid from any funds available for such purpose.
Upon the appointment of any consolidated zoning boards, any separate
board which was established for the purpose of recommending rezonings or
conditional use permits for any territory included within the territory
subject to the jurisdiction of such consolidated boards, shall be dissolved
by order of the board of county commissioners. Zoning boards for townships
not affected by a resolution creating a consolidated zoning board, or
affected only in part by such a resolution, may continue operating as
originally established, as determined by the board of county commissioners.
The consolidated zoning boards shall meet, select officers and keep
records in the same manner as provided for township zoning boards created
under subsection (a) of this section. Such boards shall have the same
powers and duties as prescribed for township zoning boards insofar as the
same may be made applicable and shall perform any additional duties which
the board of county commissioners prescribes and, in all cases, shall be
subject to the jurisdiction and under the control and approval of the board
of county commissioners.
