  1 24 feeding operations, especially near cities; and
  1 25 protect the health and welfare of the public.

  1 47 services of any city located in proximity to the
  1 48 confinement feeding operation or the county in which
  1 49 the confinement feeding operation is located.
  1 50    e.  The extent to which the applicant has complied
  2  1 with requirements under this division for other animal
  2  2 feeding operations owned by the applicant.

  2  4 provide for methods and procedures required for
  2  5 submission of proposals, review of proposals, and
  2  6 approval of a site for the construction or expansion
  2  7 of a proposed confinement feeding operation structure.
  2  8 In administering the ordinance, the board may
  2  9 establish a confinement feeding operations siting
  2 10 commission which shall review each proposal for the
  2 11 construction or expansion of a confinement feeding
  2 12 operation, and recommend to the county board of
  2 13 supervisors that the board approve or disapprove the
  2 14 proposal.  The commission shall make its
  2 15 recommendation to the board and the board shall
  2 16 approve or disapprove a proposal within thirty days
  2 17 after the date that the county receives the proposal.
  2 18 The board shall notify the department of its decision
  2 19 to approve or disapprove the proposal in the same
  2 20 manner as required to provide comments prior to March
  2 21 1, 2003, as provided in this Act."
