(1) NOTICE AND HEARING.–Airport zoning regulations may not be adopted, amended, or repealed under this chapter except by action of the legislative body of the political subdivision or affected subdivisions, or the joint board provided in s. 333.03(1)(b)2. by the political subdivisions therein provided and set forth, after a public hearing in relation thereto, at which parties in interest and citizens shall have an opportunity to be heard.

(2) AIRPORT ZONING COMMISSION.–Before the initial zoning of any airport area under this chapter, the political subdivision or joint airport zoning board that is to adopt, administer, and enforce the regulations must appoint a commission, to be known as the airport zoning commission, to recommend the boundaries of the various zones to be established and the regulations to be adopted therefor. Such commission shall make a preliminary report and hold public hearings thereon before submitting its final report, and the legislative body of the political subdivision or the joint airport zoning board may not hold its public hearings or take any action until it has received the final report of such commission, and at least 15 days shall elapse between the receipt of the final report of the commission and the hearing to be held by the latter board. If a planning commission, an airport commission, or a comprehensive zoning commission already exists, it may be appointed as the airport zoning commission.
