§ 278.028. Review and amendment of existing master plan, facilities plan or other similar plan; objection filed with regional planning commission; appeal of final determination to board

1. Following the initial adoption of the comprehensive regional plan or any portion

of it, each local planning commission, and any other affected entity shall review

its respective master plan, facilities plan and other similar plans, amend them to

conform with the provisions of the comprehensive regional plan, and submit them, within

60 days after the adoption of the comprehensive plan, to the regional planning commission.

The regional planning commission shall review the plans at one or more public hearings

held within 180 days after their submission and determine whether they conform with

the comprehensive regional plan. The regional planning commission shall specify which parts of the plan, if any, are

not in conformance and why they fail to conform. 2. If the regional planning commission fails to make a determination within 180 days

after the submission of a plan pursuant to this section, the plan shall be deemed

to be in conformance with the comprehensive regional plan. 3. An affected entity or local governing body that has submitted a plan and disagrees

with the reasons given by the regional planning commission for making a determination

of nonconformance pursuant to this section may file an objection with the regional

planning commission within 45 days after the issuance of that determination. The affected entity or local governing body shall attach its reasons why the plan

is in conformance with the comprehensive regional plan. The regional planning commission shall consider the objection and issue its final

determination of conformance or nonconformance within 45 days after the objection

is filed. The determination may be appealed to the governing board not later than 30 days after

its issuance. 4. Within 45 days after its receipt of an appeal, the governing board shall consider

the appeal and issue its decision. If the board affirms the determination of the commission, the affected entity or local

governing body shall, within 60 days after the issuance of the decision, propose revisions

to the plan and resubmit the plan together with the proposed revisions to the commission

for review in accordance with this section.
