A. Whenever the Commission adopts the plan for the City of Glasgow or any part thereof, no street, public way, 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 recommendation and proposals of the plan or portions thereof, shall be constructed or authorized in the said City until the location, extent and character thereof has been submitted to and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
1. In case of disapproval, the Commission shall communicate its reasons to the Board of Aldermen, and such Board, by vote of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of its entire membership, may overrule the disapproval and, upon the overruling, the Board 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, then the submission to the Planning and Zoning Commission shall be by the municipal 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 (2/3) of its entire membership.
2. 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.
