(A) Whenever the Commission shall have adopted the Master Plan of the city or of one or more major sections or districts thereof, no street, square, park, or other public way, ground, or open space or public building or structure shall be constructed or authorized in the city in such planned section and district until the location, character and extent thereof shall have been submitted to and approved by the Commission; provided, that in case of disapproval the Commission shall communicate its reasons to the City Commission, which shall have the power to overrule such disapproval by a record vote of not less than two-thirds of its entire membership; provided, however, that if the public way, ground, space, building, structure or utility be one, the authorization or financing of which does not under the law or Charter provisions governing same, fall within the province of the City Commission, then the submission to the Planning Commission shall be by the board, commissioners, or body having such jurisdiction, and the Planning Commission’s disapproval may be overruled by the board, commission or body by a vote of not less than two-thirds of its membership. The failure of the Commission to act within 60 days from and after the date of official submission to the Commission shall be deemed approval.
(B) For the purpose of furthering the desirable future developments of the city under the Master Plan, the City Planning Commission, after the Commission shall have adopted a Master Plan, shall prepare co-ordinated and comprehensive programs of public structures and improvements. The Commission shall annually prepare such a program for the ensuing six years, which program shall show those public structures and improvements, in the general order of their priority, which in the Commission’s judgment will be needed or desirable and can be undertaken within the next year period. The above comprehensive coordinated program shall be based upon the requirements of the community for all types of public improvements, and to that end, such agency or department of the city concerned with such improvements shall, upon request, furnish the Commission with lists, plans, estimates of time and cost of public structures and improvements within the purview of such department.
