State agencies, local governments, and other public entities are required to consider and may apply the principles during all appropriate planning, zoning, development, and resource management decisions. The smart planning principles encourage collaboration with other groups and individuals, identify the importance of efficiency, transparency, and consistency, advise the use of clean and renewable energy, advise the use of energy-efficient and sustainable design options, encourage occupational, transportation, and housing diversity, encourage revitalization, identify the importance of community character, and encourage decisions that will protect natural and agricultural resources.

The list of items includes information relating to public participation during the creation of the plan, objectives, policies, goals, and programs relating to utilities, housing, transportation, economic development, employment, protection of agricultural and natural resources, future development of certain specified public facilities, characteristics unique to the municipality, and natural or other hazards. A comprehensive plan or land development regulations may also include information relating to joint planning and joint decision making with other governmental entities.

   Division VII of the bill amends several provisions of Code chapters 335 and 414 relating to county and city zoning and planning by allowing county and city zoning commissions to recommend a comprehensive plan, or amendments thereto, to the county board of supervisors or the city council, as applicable, and by specifying certain duties and powers of boards of supervisors and city councils relating to the consideration and adoption of a comprehensive plan.
   Division VII of the bill establishes an Iowa smart planning task force consisting of 29 voting members and four ex officio, nonvoting members from the general assembly. The voting members consist of the heads of 14 specified state agencies and 15 other members from specified academic programs, governmental entities and organizations, and industry associations. Members of the task force, other than those who are the head of a state agency or who are from specified programs, organizations, and associations, serve at the pleasure of the governor.

The task force is also required to solicit information from the public on matters related to comprehensive planning, evaluate state policies, programs, statutes, and rules to determine whether any state policies, programs, statutes, or rules should be revised to integrate the Iowa smart planning principles, develop statewide goals for comprehensive planning that utilize the Iowa smart planning principles, and develop recommendations for a process to measure progress toward achieving those goals. The task force is further directed to evaluate and develop methods to incentivize comprehensive planning, develop a model for regional comprehensive planning within the state, review local comprehensive plans for specified purposes, develop a set of specified recommendations that operate consistently with the Iowa smart planning principles, and develop a model ordinance relating to floodplains.
   The task force is required to prepare a report that includes goals, recommendations, and other specified information and submit it to the governor and general assembly on or before November 15, 2010. The task force is dissolved on December 31, 2012.
