(A) Before any zoning permit is issued affecting any land within 300 feet of the centerline of a proposed new highway or a highway for which changes are proposed as described in the certification to local officials by the Director of Transportation or any land within a radius of 500 feet from the point of intersection of such centerline with any public road or highway, the Zoning Administrator shall give notice, by registered or certified mail, to the Director of Transportation.
(B) The Zoning Administrator shall not issue a zoning permit for 120 days from the date the notice is received by the Director of Transportation. If the Director of Transportation notifies the Zoning Administrator that he or she shall proceed to acquire the land needed, then the Zoning Administrator shall refuse to issue the zoning permit. If the Director of Transportation notifies the Zoning Administrator that acquisition at this time is not in the public interest or upon the expiration of the 120 day period or any extension thereof agreed upon by the Director of Transportation and the property owner, the Zoning Administrator shall, if the application is in conformance with all provisions of this chapter, issue the zoning permit.
