MODEL SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS

The third element of the land Use Commission response to uncontrolled subdivision ac-
tivity has been the development of model subdivision regulations.

Like the adoption of Senate Bill 92 last spring, the proposed change to Chapter 106 eR.S.
would provide certain authority and responsibilities to counties for subdivision review.
In order to assist counties, the Commission, as required by Senate Bill 91, has developed
a model set of subdivision regulations for use by the counties.

With the adoption of these regulations the individual counties, with the added powers of
suggested revisions to Chapter 106, will be able to base subdivision review on more sub-
stantial data, supporting evaluations, and more specifically defined criteria and stan-
dards.

RURAL AREA DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (R.A.D.D.)

The Commission has also developed a response to the immediate need for local controls
of development activities other than subdivisions. The tool developed is a district
definition and supporting standards for inclusion in local zoning resolutions to provide
for flexibility in land use control while ensuring that this flexibility is related to local
policies, economics, and documented land capabilities.

"SENATE BILL 93" APPROPRIATIONS

The Commission is very pleased with progress being made utilizing the local aid
program of Senate Bill 93. A policy of encouraging staffing at the county level is being
successfully implemented. This is being closely coordinated with other activities ad-
ministered by the Planning Division of the Department of local Affairs. To date the Com-
mission has appropriated roughly $137,000 from the total of $200,000 to twenty-six
counties, to implement and administer local planning and control. Eleven additional
counties have also applied and their requests are under review. A report of work ac-
complished under this program is detailed in Section II of this document.
