(1) The county planning commission of any county, upon request from the board of county commissioners of the county, may designate part or all of the county for the adoption of a building code. The county planning commission shall certify a copy of the building code to the board of county commissioners of the county. After receiving the certification of said building code from the county planning commission and before the adoption of any building code, the board of county commissioners shall hold a public hearing on the proposed text. The time and place of the hearing shall be designated in a notice to be given by publication once weekly for four consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the county. Such notice shall state the place at which the text of the proposed building code may be inspected and the description of the areas to be covered by the code. No substantial change in or departure from the proposed text so certified by the county planning commission shall be made unless such change or departure is first submitted to the certifying county planning commission for its approval, disapproval, or suggestions. (2) The county planning commission shall have thirty days from such submission within which to send its report to the board of county commissioners. The opinion of the county planning commission shall be advisory only, and, upon receipt thereof, the board of county commissioners may accept, reject, or amend the proposed change or departure. After a public hearing has been held thereon, the board of county commissioners, by resolution, may adopt a building code for all or part of the county.
