Sec. 20.
Airport zoning commission.
Prior to the adoption of any initial airport zoning regulations under
this Act, except when such zoning is prescribed by the Department, under
Section 17, the governing body of the political subdivision or the joint
airport zoning board which is empowered to adopt such airport zoning
regulations shall appoint a commission of 2 or more persons to be known as
the airport zoning commission, to consider and recommend the airport zoning
regulations proposed for initial adoption. Such commission shall make a
preliminary report and hold one or more public hearings as it may find
necessary thereon before submitting its final report, and the governing
body of the political subdivision or the joint airport zoning board shall
not adopt an ordinance or resolution making or providing initial airport
zoning regulations or take other action in respect thereto until it has
received the final report of such commission. Upon receipt of such final
report said governing body or joint airport zoning board may without
further public hearing adopt an ordinance or resolution providing for and
making the initial airport zoning regulations recommended by such final
report. In the event said governing body or board does not concur in the
recommendations of such final report, it may conduct further public
hearings thereon and upon any proposed amendment or change in the
regulations thereby recommended, and, after said public hearing may reject
such report or adopt an ordinance or resolution placing into effect the
regulations as recommended by said commission or as amended or changed by
said governing body or board after such public hearing. Where a city plan
commission or comprehensive zoning commission already exists, it may be
appointed as the initial airport zoning commission. Said ordinance or
resolution may be amended, changed or revised after adoption by such
governing body or board after it shall have conducted a public hearing upon
any proposed amendment, change or revision. Public notice shall be given of
all public hearings referred to in this section as is provided in the case
of public hearings under Section 19.
