§ 400.080. Approval of Improvements.

Whenever the Planning and Zoning Commission adopts the plan of the City or any part thereof, no street or other public facilities, 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 Commission shall communicate its reasons to the board of Aldermen, and the board, by vote of not less than two-thirds ⅔ of its entire membership, may overrule the disapproval and, upon the overruling, the Board 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 Board of Aldermen, then the submission of the Planning and Zoning Commission shall be by the Board having jurisdiction, and the Planning and Zoning Commission's disapproval may be overruled by that Board by a vote of not less than two-thirds ⅔ 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 Commission to act within sixty (60) days after the date of official submission to it shall be deemed approval.
