Except as set forth in subsection (8) of this section, each area development
district shall establish a regional planning council to act in an advisory capacity
on planning matters throughout the district.
The regional planning council shall be composed of one (1) representative
from each planning unit in the area development district. Each representative
shall be appointed annually by the planning commission of each planning unit
in the district. To be eligible for appointment to the council, a person shall be a
member of the planning commission, or the planning commission's
professional staff.
At its first regular meeting in each year, the council shall elect from its
membership a president and vice president. The vice president shall have the
authority to act as president of the council during the absence or disability of
the president.
The council shall meet at the call of the president, but at least quarterly in each
year.
To insure compatible treatment of planned development throughout the district,
the council may review comprehensive plans of planning units within the district
for regional impact, may develop regional transportation, infrastructure, and
land use plans for the district, and may make recommendations regarding the
regional impact of proposed comprehensive plans and plan amendments of
planning units within the district.
The area development district shall provide staff and technical support as
requested by the council. Existing land use planning services and functions of
the area development district shall be placed under the direction and control of
the council.
The council may offer training and education opportunities in the area of
planning and zoning matters to planning commission members and staff in the
district.
The requirements of this section shall not apply to any area development
district in which fifty percent (50%) or more of the population resides in cities or
counties which participate in a regional planning authority, council of
governments, or other agency which is authorized to perform regional planning
functions as described in this section.
