The Planning Board is hereby designated as the Zoning Commission for the town and shall prepare a zoning ordinance to govern the use of buildings and premises, which ordinance shall be submitted to the Town Council for its consideration and possible adoption. After the adoption of a zoning ordinance by the Town Council, no change, alteration or amendment or such ordinance shall be made until such change, alteration or amendment shall have been submitted to the Planning Board for its recommendation. A vote of not less than three-fifths of the entire membership of the Town Council will be required to overrule an unfavorable recommendation by the Planning Board. Failure of the Planning Board to act within 40 days after submission shall constitute approval of the proposed change, alteration or amendment.
