Box 7857 Madison, WI 53707-7857 Burneatta L Bridge January 26, 1994 M8sW7-1221 Deputy Attorney General OAG 1-94 Mr. Benjamin Southwick Corporation Counsel Richland County Courthouse 181 West Seminary Street Richland Center, Wisconsin 53581 Dear Mr. Southwick: You ask, in effect, whether an amendment to a county zoning ordinance which adds one new zoning district to that ordinance necessarily constitutes a comprehensive revision requiring town board approval of the entire county zoning ordinance under the provisions of section 59.97(5)(d), Stats. In my opinion, the answer is no. Section 59.97 provides in part: (5) FORMATION OF ZONING ORDINANCE; PROCEDURE. (a) When the county zoning agency has completed a draft of a proposed zoning ordinance, it shall hold a public hearing thereon, following publication in the county of a class 2 notice, under ch. 985. After such hearing the agency may make such revisions in the draft as it shall deem necessary, or it may submit the draft without revision to the county board with recommendations for adoption. Proof of publication of the notice of the public hearing held by such agency shall be attached to its report to the county board. (b) When the draft of such ordinance, recommended for adoption by the zoning agency, is received by the county board, it may adopt the ordinance as submitted, or reject it, or return it to the agency with such recommendations as the county board may see fit to make. In the event of such return subsequent procedure by the agency shall be as if the agency were acting under the original directions. When adopted, duplicate copies of the ordinance shall be submitted by the county clerk by registered mail to each town clerk for consideration by the town board.
