(a) City Planning Commission. The City Planning Commission shall have all powers and authority vested by virtue of the Ohio Revised Code and all City Ordinances, including these Subdivision Regulations. A Master Plan for the area in and around the City having been adopted by the Commission, no plat of a subdivision of land within such area shall be recorded until it has been approved by the Commission and such approval endorsed in writing on the plat.
(b) Cooperation with Regional Planning Commission. Although the City Planning Commission has exclusive jurisdiction for approval of plats in the area outside of the corporation limits, but within three miles thereof, it is the desire of the City Commission to preserve and maintain a spirit of mutual cooperation between the City Commission and the Ashland Regional Planning Commission and to enable the City Commission to continue to benefit from the review and suggestions of the Regional Commission. Therefore, for as long as such remains the desire of the City Commission, or for as long as the Regional Commission is willing to cooperate with the City Commission in this respect, the City Commission shall develop and carry out a method of review and recommendation by the Regional Commission by which this desire will be effected. (Ord. 39-81. Passed 10-7-81.)
