Prior to the initial zoning of any airport hazard area under this chapter, the political subdivision or joint airport zoning board that is 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. The commission shall make a preliminary report and hold public hearings before submitting its final report. The legislative body of the political subdivision or the joint airport zoning board shall not hold its public hearings or take other action until it has received the final report of the Commission. When a municipal planning commission or regional planning commission already exists, it may be appointed as the airport zoning commission. (Added 1985, No. 222 (Adj. Sess.), § 2.)
