County commission may prescribe zoning regulations--hearings on plan--adoption (second and third class counties).

64.640. The county commission shall provide for the manner in which

such regulations, restrictions and boundaries of such districts shall be

determined, established and enforced, and from time to time amended,

supplemented or changed within said unincorporated territory. In order to

avail itself of the zoning powers conferred by sections 64.510 to 64.690, the

county commission shall request the county planning commission to recommend

the boundaries of the various original districts and appropriate regulations

to be enforced therein. If there be no county planning commission the county

commission shall appoint a county zoning commission whose personnel, length

of terms and organization shall be the same as provided in section 64.520 for

a county planning commission. Such zoning commission shall make a preliminary

report and a proposed zoning order and shall hold public hearings thereon,

and shall afford persons interested an opportunity to be heard. A hearing

shall be held in each township affected by the terms of such proposed order,

public notice of which hearing shall be given in the same manner as provided

for the hearing in section 64.550. Such notice shall state the time and place

of the hearing and the place where copies of the proposed report and proposed

zoning order will be accessible for examination by interested parties. Such

hearings may be adjourned from time to time. Within ninety days after the

final adjournment of such hearings the zoning commission shall make a report

and submit a proposed order to the county commission. The county commission

may adopt the order with or without change or may refer it back to the zoning

commission for further consideration and report. In case a written protest

against the proposed zoning of any land lying within one and one-half miles

of the corporate limits of any municipality having in effect an ordinance

zoning property within the corporate limits of such municipality is made by

resolution of the city council or board of trustees thereof and filed with the

county commission, the county commission shall not adopt the proposed zoning

of such land except by record vote of all members and after a statement of

the reasons for such action shall be spread upon its minutes or records. In

the preparation of its report and proposed zoning order the zoning commission

may incur such expenditures as shall be authorized by the county commission.
