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.

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.
