                                BY STATE AFFAIRS COMMITTEE

 1                                        AN ACT
 2    RELATING TO LOCAL LAND USE PLANNING; AMENDING SECTION 67-6526, IDAHO CODE,  TO
 3        PROVIDE  A  TIME  CERTAIN  FOR MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF LAW RELATING TO
 4        IDENTIFYING AN AREA OF CITY IMPACT WITHIN THE  UNINCORPORATED  AREA  OF  A
 5        COUNTY, TO REQUIRE THAT RECOMMENDATIONS BY THE NINE PERSON COMMITTEE SHALL
 6        BE  SUBMITTED  TO  THE  GOVERNING BOARDS WITHIN ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY DAYS OF
 7        APPOINTING AT-LARGE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE AND TO  PROVIDE  THAT  EITHER
 8        THE  CITY  OR  THE COUNTY MAY SEEK A DECLARATORY JUDGMENT IN THE EVENT THE
 9        CITY OR COUNTY FAILS TO ENACT ORDINANCES AS REQUIRED AND TO MAKE A TECHNI-
10        CAL CORRECTION.

11    Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:

12        SECTION 1.  That Section 67-6526, Idaho Code, be, and the same  is  hereby
13    amended to read as follows:

14        67-6526.  AREAS OF CITY IMPACT -- NEGOTIATION PROCEDURE. (a) The governing
15    board  of each county and each city therein shall adopt by ordinance following
16    the notice and hearing procedures provided in section 67-6509, Idaho  Code,  a
17    map  identifying  an area of city impact within the unincorporated area of the
18    county. A separate ordinance providing for application of plans and ordinances
19    for the area of city impact shall be adopted. Subject  to  the  provisions  of
20    section  50-222, Idaho Code, an area of city impact must be established before
21    a city may annex adjacent territory. This separate ordinance shall provide for
22    one  (1)  of the following:
23        (1)  Application of the city plan and ordinances adopted under this  chap-
24        ter to the area of city impact; or
25        (2)  Application  of  the  county  plan  and ordinances adopted under this
26        chapter to the area of city impact; or
27        (3)  Application of any mutually agreed upon plan and  ordinances  adopted
28        under this chapter to the area of city impact.
29        Areas  of  city impact, together with plan and ordinance requirements, may
30    cross county boundaries by agreement of the city and county concerned  if  the
31    city is within three (3) miles of the adjoining county.
32        (b)  If  the  requirements  of section 67-6526(a), Idaho Code, are not met
33     by January 1, 2000 , the county commissioners for the county  con-
34    cerned, together with three (3) elected city officials designated by the mayor
35    of the city and confirmed by the council, shall, within thirty (30) days after
36    the  city  officials have been confirmed by the council, select three (3) city
37    or county residents. These nine (9) persons shall, by majority vote, recommend
38    to the city and county governing boards an area of city impact  together  with
39    plan  and ordinance requirements. The recommendations shall be  submitted
40    to the governing boards within one hundred eighty (180) days after the  selec-
41    tion  of  the three (3) at-large members and shall be  acted upon by the
42    governing boards within sixty (60) days of receipt.  If  the  city  or  county
43    fails  to  enact  ordinances  providing  for an area of city impact, plan, and


                                          2

 1    ordinance requirements,  either  the city  or  county  may  seek  a
 2    declaratory  judgment  from  the  district  court identifying the area of city
 3    impact, and plan and ordinance requirements.  In  defining  an  area  of  city
 4    impact,  the  following  factors shall be considered: (1) trade area; (2) geo-
 5    graphic factors; and (3) areas that can reasonably be expected to  be  annexed
 6    to the city in the future.
 7        (c)  If  areas of city impact overlap, the cities involved shall negotiate
 8    boundary adjustments to be recommended to the respective city councils. If the
 9    cities cannot reach agreement, the board of county commissioners shall, upon a
10    request from either city, within thirty (30) days,  recommend  adjustments  to
11    the  areas  of  city  impact which shall be adopted by ordinance by the cities
12    following the notice and hearing procedures provided in section 67-6509, Idaho
13    Code. If any city objects to the recommendation of the board of county commis-
14    sioners, the county shall conduct an election, subject to  the  provisions  of
15    section  34-106,  Idaho  Code, and establish polling places for the purpose of
16    submitting to the qualified electors residing in the overlapping impact  area,
17    the  question  of  which  area of city impact the electors wish to reside. The
18    results of the election shall be conclusive and binding, and no  further  pro-
19    ceedings  shall  be  entertained by the board of county commissioners, and the
20    decision shall not be appealable by either city involved.  The  clerk  of  the
21    board  of  county  commissioners shall by abstract of the results of the elec-
22    tion, certify that fact, record the same and transmit copies of  the  original
23    abstract of the result of the election to the clerk of the involved cities.
24        (d)  Areas  of  city impact, plan, and ordinance requirements shall remain
25    fixed until both governing boards agree to renegotiate. In the event the  city
26    and  county  cannot agree, the judicial review process of subsection (b) shall
27    apply. Renegotiations shall  begin  within  thirty  (30)  days  after  written
28    request  by  the  city  or county and shall follow the procedures for original
29    negotiation provided in this section.
30        (e)  Prior to negotiation or renegotiation of areas of city impact,  plan,
31    and ordinance requirements, the governing boards shall submit the questions to
32    the  planning,  zoning,  or planning and zoning commission for recommendation.
33    Each commission shall have a reasonable time fixed by the governing  board  to
34    make its recommendations to the governing board.
35        (f)  This  section  shall  not preclude growth and development in areas of
36    any county within the state of Idaho which are not within the  areas  of  city
37    impact provided for herein.
38        (g)  If  the  area of impact has been delimited pursuant to the provisions
39    of subsection (a) (1) of this section, persons  living  within  the  delimited
40    area of impact shall be entitled to representation on the planning, zoning, or
41    the planning and zoning commission of the city of impact.  Such representation
42    shall as nearly as possible reflect the proportion of population living within
43    the  city  as  opposed to the population living within the areas of impact for
44    that city.  To achieve such proportional  representation,  membership  of  the
45    planning,  zoning  or  planning  and zoning commission, may exceed twelve (12)
46    persons, notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) of section  67-6504,
47    Idaho  Code.   In  instances  where  a city has combined either or both of its
48    planning and zoning functions with the county, representation on the resulting
49    joint planning, zoning or planning and zoning commission shall  as  nearly  as
50    possible reflect the proportion of population living within the impacted city,
51    the  area  of  city  impact outside the city, and the remaining unincorporated
52    area of the county.  Membership on such a joint planning, zoning  or  planning
53    and zoning commission may exceed twelve (12) persons, notwithstanding the pro-
54    visions of subsection (a) of section 67-6504, Idaho Code.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                            RS 09148C1

Many cities and counties have never implemented an area of
impact as is detailed in the Land Use Planning Act of 1975. A
separate ordinance allowed the cities and counties to extend the
adoption of an impact area to no later than January 1, 1995. Many
have not yet implemented these impact areas. This legislation would
trigger a nine member panel to resolve the differences and call for
the resolution panel.
