If the county planning commission does not report upon the plat within thirty days, it may then be deemed approved. If such plat be amended or rejected by the planning commission, such action may be overruled and the plat approved only by the county commission, provided the reasons for such overruling shall be spread upon the minutes of said county commission. The recorder of deeds shall not record a plat of a subdivision of land in the unincorporated area of the county until he shall have received a certificate of authority from the county zoning enforcement officer, who shall issue such certificate if such plat has been approved, pursuant to the provisions of sections 64.010 to 64.160. The county planning commission may, upon the written request of the legislative body of an incorporated area in which there is no municipal planning commission, pass upon subdivision plats within said incorporated areas, and said plats shall be subject to all rules and regulations of the county planning commission and shall not be recorded until they have been approved in the same manner as a subdivision plat in an unincorporated area. If, however, the county planning commission does not agree to pass upon plats in an incorporated area, the county recorder must be advised of the fact by registered letter.

64.080. Plans for major highway — duties of county commission — board of adjustment (certain first class counties). —
Whenever a plan for major highways has been prepared, the county commission, upon recommendation of the planning commission, is hereby authorized and empowered to establish, regulate and limit and to change and amend, by order, building or setback lines on such major highways and to prohibit any new building being located within such building or setback lines outside the corporate limits of any city, village or incorporated town. The county commission shall provide for the method by which this section shall be administered and enforced and may provide for a board of adjustment with powers to modify or vary the regulations, in specific cases, in order that unwarranted hardship, which constitutes an unreasonable deprivation of use as distinguished from the mere grant of a privilege, may be avoided. If there is a county board of zoning adjustment, as herein provided, such board shall be appointed to serve as the board of adjustment for the building line regulations. If there be no county board of zoning adjustment, the personnel, length of terms, method of appointment and organization of the board of adjustment for the building line regulations shall be the same as provided in section 64.120 for the board of zoning adjustment. The regulations of this section shall not be adopted, changed or amended until a public hearing has been held thereon by the planning commission, public notice of which shall be given in the same manner as provided for the hearing in section 64.040.

For any or all of said purposes, the unincorporated territory may be divided into districts of such number, shape, and area as may be deemed best suited to carry out the purposes of sections 64.010 to 64.160 and shall be shown upon the plan; and within such districts, the erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair or use of buildings, structures or land may be regulated and restricted. All such regulations shall be uniform for each class or kind of buildings or land uses throughout each district, but the regulations in one district may differ from those in other districts. The regulations shall be made in accordance with a comprehensive plan, and shall give reasonable consideration, among other things, to the character of the district, its suitability for particular uses, conserving the value of buildings and of existing development, and encouraging the most appropriate use of land throughout the county.

Regulations adopted pursuant to the provisions of sections 64.010 to 64.160 may include appropriate and reasonable provisions for the control of the use of buildings, structures, or land, which use of same cannot, in the opinion of the board, be placed, specified or generally permitted in a specific district or districts because of the peculiar nature of the uses. The uses shall be limited to those which, if placed, specified or generally permitted in a specific district or districts, would pose undue regulatory difficulties. The uses shall be permitted only by a special use permit issued by the board as a permissive use and not as a rezoning after public hearing before the planning commission as provided by section 64.110, and a report and recommendation made by the commission to the board. The special permit shall set out regulations, restrictions, limitations and termination date so that reasonable control may be exercised over said uses; however, no such restriction shall relate to the identity of the owner. This section shall not allow the application of requirements for special use permits for any retail or retail service establishment in a district in which retail and retail service establishments generally are permitted uses, nor for any wholesale distribution establishment in a district in which wholesale storage and distribution establishments generally are permitted uses.

Public notice of such hearing shall be given by at least one publication in one newspaper published in the county at least fifteen days before the date of the hearing.

Such officer shall forthwith refer all violations of said regulations to the county general attorney for appropriate action, and shall examine all subdivision plats and determine whether the proposed development conforms to the regulations adopted. If such proposed subdivision plat conforms to the adopted regulations, such plat shall be by such officer promptly approved, or such plat may be referred by said officer to the planning commission for its approval, amendment or rejection.
