[Ord. No. 3121, 4-18-2016]
After the Planning and Zoning Commission has adopted the plan
of the City or any segment thereof, no street or other public facility,
or no public utility, whether publicly or privately owned, and the
location, extent and character thereof having been included in the
recommendations and proposals of the plan or portions thereof, shall
be constructed or authorized in the City until the location, extent
and character thereof has been submitted to and approved by the Planning
and Zoning Commission. In case of disapproval, the Planning and Zoning
Commission shall communicate its reasons to the City Council which,
by vote of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of its entire membership,
may overrule the disapproval and, upon the overruling, the City Council
or the appropriate board or officer may proceed, except that if the
public facility or utility is one the authorization or financing of
which does not fall within the province of the City Council, then
the submission to the Planning and Zoning Commission shall be the
Board having jurisdiction, and the Planning and Zoning's disapproval
may be overruled by that Board by a vote of not less than two-thirds
(2/3) of its entire membership. The acceptance, widening, removal,
extension, relocation, narrowing, vacation, abandonment, change of
use, acquisition of land for, sale or lease of any street or other
public facility is subject to similar submission and approval, and
the failure to approve may be similarly overruled. The failure of
the Planning and Zoning Commission to act within sixty (60) days after
the date of official submission to it shall be deemed approval.

The Planning and Zoning Commission shall prepare a zoning plan
for the regulation of the height, area, bulk, location and use of
private, nonprofit and public structures and premises and of population
