CT Gen Stat § 8-26b (2020)
2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 8 - Zoning, Planning, Housing and Economic and Community Development|Chapter 126 - Municipal Planning Commissions|Section 8-26b - Notice to regional council of governments of proposed subdivision; report of agency findings.

 Whenever a subdivision of land is planned, the area of which will abut or include land in two or more municipalities, the planning commission, where one exists, of each such municipality shall, before approving the plan, give written notice of such subdivision plan to each regional council of governments for the region or regions in which it and the other municipality are located. Such notice shall be made by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by electronic mail to the electronic mail address designated by the regional council of governments on the council's Internet web site for receipt of such notice, not later than thirty days before the public hearing to be held in relation thereto. If such notice is sent by electronic mail and the planning commission does not receive an electronic mail message from a regional council of governments confirming receipt of such notice, then not later than twenty-five days before the public hearing, the planning commission shall also send such notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, to such council. A regional council of governments receiving such notice shall, at or before the hearing report to each such planning commission and to the proponent of such subdivision on its findings on the intermunicipal aspects of the proposed subdivision, including street layout, storm drainage, sewer and water service and such other matters as it considers appropriate. If such report of a regional council of governments is not submitted, at or before the hearing, it shall be presumed that such council does not disapprove of the proposed subdivision. A regional council of governments may designate its regional planning commission to act for it under this section. The report of such regional council of governments shall be purely advisory.(1961, P.A. 547; 1967, P.A. 64, S. 2; 383, S. 2; P.A. 03-177, S. 8; P.A. 12-27, S. 1; P.A. 13-247, S. 278.)History: 1967 acts required that report be made within 30 rather than 15 days, included subdivisions which “abut” land in two or more municipalities, allowed for possibility of involvement of more than one region or planning agency and substituted “does not disapprove” for “approves”; P.A. 03-177 replaced provision requiring that plan be submitted to the regional planning agency with requirement that notice of such plan be given and required the regional planning agency to submit report at or before the public hearing instead of within 30 days, effective October 1, 2003, and applicable to application filed on or after that date; P.A. 12-27 added provisions re sending notice by electronic mail and made technical changes; P.A. 13-247 deleted “one or both of which are within a region or regions having a regional planning agency or agencies,”, substituted “council” or “council of governments” for “agency” or “planning agency”, substituted “regional planning commission” for “executive committee”, and deleted “or it may establish a subcommittee for the purpose”, effective January 1, 2015.
