Motion by _________ second by _________ directing the Planning & Zoning Director,
with the assistance of the City Attorney, to prepare an ordinance amending the
extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction, and to submit such ordinance to the Planning and
Zoning Commission for its review and recommendation as required by law.
Overview:
The Brown County Commission on March 19, 2019, provided a statement to City
administrative staff indicating its intention to evaluate and potentially reassert its zoning
authority in the 3-mile area outside of the Aberdeen city limits. The statement invited the
City to work with the County Commission on creating a joint comprehensive plan,
establishing a jurisdictional map, appointing a joint planning commission/zoning board of
adjustment, and creating a joint jurisdiction ordinance. Discussion of the County’s
proposal is necessary to provide direction to the Administration on the possible
preparation and presentation to the planning commission of an amending ordinance
consistent with the principles, policies, and objectives of the land use plan of the city.
Any ordinance could be presented to the planning commission at its next regular meeting
on May 21st.

Mony citizens ore conf used obout the curcent zoning process ond wheth er they need to work with
Aberdeen City or Brown County on zoning motters neqr, but not within Aberdeencity limits. They
have expressed dissqtísfaction with the process. fn order to olleviote confusion qnd provide
better service for our citizens, the Brown County Commission osks the Aberdeen City Councíl to
consider joíning them ín working on the following:
1. Creation of o Joint Comprehensive Plon so thot both entities are in sync wifh how to hondle
reguests os they pertoin to the overoll vision f or the area.
Recognizing that Aberdeen City has spent a lot of time, effort, and money in the
preparation of their 2018 City of Aberdeen Growth Plan, Brown County would like to
aPProve and adopt the same plan, as well. Brown County is in the process of developing
their own comprehensive plan. By coordínating efforts, both governing entities will have a
seamless, unif ied vísion for the future use of not only the City governed and the County
governed parcels, but also the joint jurisdictional orea.
2. Estqblíshment of one, joinïly opproved jurísdictíonol mop with def ined boundories ond
zoníng distrícts.
A couple different map versions of the outlying areas of Aberdeen have been in use. The
last iointly approved map was "The 1979 Off iciat Zoning ltrlap of the City of Aberdeen,
South Dakota." Aberdeen City and Brown County should work together to def ine the
current ioint iurisdictional areo based on parcels annexed into the city since that time and
update the map.
3' Appointment of the Joint City/County Plonníng Commission to overs ee zoning within the
Joint Jurísdíctionol Territory.
The Joint City/County Planning Commission, which currently meets the third Tuesday of
each month, could also convene as the Board of Adjustnent for the Joint jurisdictional
area at the same time. In 2018, there were an average of 3 joint items per month. By
combining the planning and zoning duties within the same commission and timeframe, we
prevent having to pay additional mileage and meeting costs, as well as maximize staff time.
4. Creation of a Joint Jurisdiction Ordinonc e, to govern the zoning wíthín the oreo just
outsíde Aberdeen currently ref erred to os the 3-mirezone.
Brown County is curcently working on a joint jurisdiction ordinance draft, which includes
provísions for planníng, enforcement, variances and C|JPí, and appeals for the zonìng
Process. Upon completion, the draft will be given to Aberdeen City for discussion,
changes, and possible adoption.
Thonks for your considerqtíon

Zoning in the Joint Jurisdiction Area
City of Aberdeen – Brown County
City Attorney’s explanation regarding current zoning authority within the 3-mile
area outside of the City’s corporate limits:
State law permits a municipality to adopt zoning regulations as part of the city’s
comprehensive plan. If it adopts zoning regulations, it is also required to appoint a
planning commission and a zoning board of adjustment.
A planning commission makes recommendations to the city council whether to
approve or deny petitions (1) to rezone district boundaries (council adopts ordinance),
(2) to vacate public rights-of-way (council adopts resolution), and (3) to plat or replat
property (council adopts resolution).
A zoning board is given the authority (1) to hear appeals from a code
enforcement official’s decision, (2) to grant variances to the terms of the zoning
ordinances, and (3) to determine conditional land uses authorized by the zoning
ordinance.
Counties are required to be organized in the same fashion, with their planning
commissions and zoning boards exercising the same powers as the municipalities.
Joint Jurisdiction
South Dakota municipalities also have the legal authority to expand their
corporate limits through voluntary and involuntary annexation. Planning for this growth
as part of each city’s comprehensive plan is accommodated by a state law that grants to
cities zoning authority within a joint jurisdictional area up to 6 miles outside of their
corporate limits and out into the county proper. SDCL 11-6-10. Aberdeen’s zoning
ordinance at Sec. 60-31 limits our zoning laws to 3 miles in all directions. Thus, our
planning commission and zoning board act on all zoning matters within the 3-mile area.
State law permits a county to choose whether to apply its zoning regulations
within an area of joint jurisdiction with a municipality:
1
Sec. 60-3. - Jurisdiction.
The provisions of this chapter shall apply to all lands within the corporate limits of the
city, and in all quarter sections fully contained within the territory beyond said corporate limits as
now or hereafter fixed, for a distance of three miles in all directions, as established on the map
entitled "The 1979 Official Zoning Map of the City of Aberdeen, South Dakota," and
amendments thereto as the same may be amended by subsequent annexation….
Page 37 of 43 05/02/2019
SDCL 11-6-12: Joint zoning in concurrent jurisdiction of first or
second class municipality and county--Recommendation of each
planning commission required--Time allowed for recommendation.
Following adoption of a comprehensive plan by the governing
bodies, the city and county planning commissions may prepare zoning
regulations for all property in the joint jurisdictional area consistent with the
comprehensive plan. The regulations shall delineate the authority of the
governing bodies over all zoning matters pertaining to the joint
jurisdictional area. Such regulations may include relinquishment by the
county of some or all of its zoning authority within the joint jurisdictional
area. In those instances where a county has granted to a municipality sole
zoning authority beyond said municipality's existing corporate limits, the
notice and public hearing requirements of chapter 11-4 shall apply….
The Brown County Commission coordinated its zoning regulations with the City
and adopted an ordinance decades ago relinquishing their zoning authority within 3
miles of Aberdeen:
BCO 4.0201 Jurisdiction. The provisions of Title 4 [zoning] shall apply
within the unincorporated area of Brown County, South Dakota, (excluding
areas of joint jurisdiction being: three (3) miles of Aberdeen, one (1) mile
of Groton, one (1) mile of Hecla, one-half (1/2) mile of Frederick, and one
and onehalf (1 1/2) miles of Warner City limits; and also including the
incorporated communities of Claremont, Columbia and Stratford, as
established on the map entitled "The Official Zoning Map of Brown
County, South Dakota".
Zoning Boards
Because of its own ordinance, the County’s zoning board does not hear appeals
of code enforcement decisions, variance requests, and land use exceptions in the 3-
mile jurisdiction. The City zoning board is the only body authorized to hear those
matters. Applicants unhappy with a decision of the City zoning board may appeal the
decision to circuit court. The City Council does not hear appeals of a zoning board
decision.
This is not the procedure the County uses to appeal a decision by its zoning
board. Appeals from a decision of the County zoning board are made to the County
Commission. Thereafter, an aggrieved applicant may appeal the County Commission’s
decision to circuit court.
Planning Commissions
The City and County planning commissions operate outside of the zoning
regulations except to determine district boundaries. For that reason, the County cannot
relinquish its authority to rezone property, approve plats, or vacate rights-of-way. The
Page 38 of 43 05/02/2019
County planning commission meets jointly with the City planning commission each
month to hear all such matters in the 3-mile area.
All actions of the planning commissions are recommendations to their governing
bodies, which ultimately approve or deny the petitions. Appeals from an adverse
decision of the City Council or County Commission are taken to the circuit court.
