462.3585 JOINT PLANNING BOARD.
Upon request of a home rule charter or statutory city council or county or town board by
resolution presented to the county auditor of the county of the affected territory a board shall be
established to exercise planning and land use control authority in the unincorporated area within
two miles of the corporate limits of a city. The board shall have members in a number determined
by the city, county, and town. Each governmental unit shall have an equal number of members.
The members shall be appointed from the governing bodies of the city, county, and town. Upon
request of more than one county or town board with respect to the unincorporated area within
two miles of the corporate limits of a single city, the parties may create one board rather than a
separate board for each county or town, with equal membership from each affected governmental
unit. The board shall serve as the governing body and board of appeals and adjustments for
purposes of sections 462.351 to 462.364 within the two-mile area. The board shall have all of the
powers contained in sections 462.351 to 462.364 and shall have authority to adopt and enforce the
State Fire Code promulgated pursuant to section 299F.011. The city shall provide staff for the
preparation and administration of land use controls unless otherwise agreed by the governmental
units. If a municipality extends the application of its subdivision regulations to unincorporated
territory located within two miles of its limits pursuant to section 462.358, subdivision 1a, before
the creation of a joint board, the subdivision regulations which the municipality has extended
shall apply until the joint board adopts subdivision regulations.
