Jurisdiction of commission
Official statutory text
The jurisdictional area of a lake area planning commission may
include all or part of the unincorporated area of any county or
counties authorized to create such a planning commission, provided
that the jurisdictional area shall be limited to a three-mile
perimeter from the normal shoreline elevation of the upstream
terminal port or turnaround where navigation ends, or any reservoir
or reservoirs constructed by the Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers or the Grand River Dam Authority, regardless
of the population of the county or counties or the cities or towns
therein. In the event that the three-mile perimeter described above
includes portions of two or more counties, the counties may
cooperate in a joint lake area planning commission; provided, that
no lake area planning commission may establish or maintain any
jurisdictional area within any county or counties without a
resolution of participation from the board of county commissioners
of the county or counties.
In the event that all or part of an incorporated city or town
lies within the three-mile perimeter, as described above, the
incorporated areas may elect to come under the jurisdiction of the
lake area planning commission. In the event that an incorporated
area elects to come within the jurisdiction of a lake area planning
commission, the commission shall become the planning commission or
zoning commission, or both, for the incorporated area or areas in
their entirety, without regard for the three-mile perimeter from the
normal shoreline elevation.
In counties where a metropolitan area planning commission
exists, the board of county commissioners may utilize that
commission in forming a lake area planning commission.
In no event shall the boundaries of any statutorily authorized
planning commissions overlap, and where a situation of overlap does
occur, the jurisdictional question shall be settled on the basis of
prior jurisdiction.
