Procedure for adoption of zoning regulations.
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 19. Counties and County Officers
Prior to the adoption of any zoning regulations, the board of
county commissioners shall request the county planning commission to
recommend the boundaries of the various districts and appropriate
regulations to be enforced therein. The county planning commission
shall make a preliminary report of its recommendations for such
zoning regulations and shall hold a public hearing thereon for each
township to be affected by the proposed regulations. Such hearings
may be adjourned from time to time. Within ninety (90) days after
the final adjournment of such hearings the county planning
commission shall make its final report together with its proposed
zoning regulations and a summary of the results of the public
hearings to the board of county commissioners. The board of county
commissioners may then adopt the proposed regulation or refer it
back to the county planning commission for further consideration.
If a written protest against the proposed zoning of any land lying
within one and one-half (1 1/2) miles of the limits of any
municipality having a zoning ordinance is received from the
governing body thereof, the board of county commissioners shall not
adopt the proposed zoning regulations of such land except by a
record vote of all members and after a statement of the reasons for
such action shall be spread upon its minutes or records.
