Latest version.
  • The governing body of each affected municipality in the county, shall, no later than September 1, 1996, submit to the county council its amended ordinance containing the standards in compliance with this division; provided, however, prior to this date, a municipality may elect to authorize the county to administer this division within said municipality. Thereafter, the county council or county staff shall review said ordinance for compliance with this division and, after said review, inform the municipality whether or not said municipal ordinance is in compliance with this division. If such ordinance of the municipality is not enacted or submitted on this date or is not in compliance with this division, then, notwithstanding any provision of Ordinance No. 88-3, as amended, (the land development code, appendix A to this Code) to the contrary, the county council may enforce its wetland protection ordinance in said municipality, or may enforce this provision as provided in section 50-75. In the event said enforcement occurs by the county in a municipality through its application of Ordinance No. 88-3, as amended, a municipality may subsequently adopt an ordinance complying with the standards contained herein and said Ordinance No. 88-3, as amended, shall not be applicable in the municipality upon a compliance review of said municipal ordinance by the county council or county staff.
