125.328 Basic plan; public hearing approval procedure; approval by township board; final adoption.

Sec. 8.

(1) Before approving a proposed basic plan, the township planning commission shall hold a public hearing on the proposed plan. The hearing shall be held after the expiration of the deadline for comment under section 7b(5). The township planning commission shall publish notice of the hearing twice in a newspaper of general circulation in the township. The first publication shall be not more than 30 days or less than 20 days before the date of the hearing. The second publication shall be not more than 8 days before the date of the hearing.

(2) At or after the hearing under subsection (1), the township planning commission may approve the proposed plan by majority vote of its membership. Following approval of the proposed plan by the township planning commission, the secretary of the planning commission shall submit a copy of the proposed plan to the township board.

(3) Approval of the plan by the planning commission under subsection (2) is the final step for adoption of the plan, unless the township board by resolution has asserted the right to approve or reject the plan. In that case, after approval of the plan by the planning commission, the township board shall approve or reject the plan.

(4) If the township board rejects the proposed plan, the township board shall submit to the planning commission a statement of its objections to the proposed plan. The planning commission shall consider the township board's objections and revise the proposed plan so as to address those objections. The procedures provided in subsections (1) to (3) and this subsection shall be repeated until a proposed plan is approved by the township board.

(5) The plan is effective upon final adoption. Upon final adoption of the plan, copies of the adopted plan shall be submitted in the same manner as provided for submitting copies of the proposed plan under section 7b(3).
