     40A.07 Municipal agricultural land preservation. 

    Subdivision 1.    Failure by county to plan.  As of 
 January 1, 1990, if a county has not submitted a proposed 
 agricultural land preservation plan and proposed official 
 controls to the commissioner and the regional development 
 commission, if one exists, a municipality within the county may 
 request by resolution that the county submit a plan and official 
 controls to the commissioner and the regional development 
 commission.  If the county does not do so within one year of 
 receipt of the resolution, the municipality may perform the 
 duties of the county with respect to land under its jurisdiction.

    Subd. 2.    Relationship to other laws.  Nothing in this 
 chapter limits a municipality's power to plan or adopt official 
 controls under other laws or to adopt official controls that are 
 consistent with or more restrictive than those enacted by the 
 county.  

    Subd. 3.    Consistency of municipal plans and controls 
 with county plan.  Municipalities shall revise existing plans 
 and official controls to conform with the county approved 
 agricultural land preservation plan and official controls and 
 shall initiate implementation of the revised plans and controls 
 within one year after receiving the county approved agricultural 
 land preservation plan and controls.
