SECTION 9.04 MANDATORY REFERRAL TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.
   Unless the Planning and Zoning Commission shall have recommended the same to Council, no resolution, ordinance, regulation, measure or order of Council concerning a matter as to which the Planning and Zoning Commission has powers and duties, as provided in Section 9.03 shall become effective unless Council shall first have submitted the same to the Planning and Zoning Commission for report and recommendation.
   Any matter so referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission shall be considered and acted upon by it within ninety (90) days from the date of referral, unless a longer time be authorized by Council.
   If the Planning and Zoning Commission shall fail to act within the ninety (90) days, the applicant seeking action on the matter referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission may request the Council to act thereon without action from the Planning and Zoning Commission. If the Planning and Zoning Commission fails to act in the time allotted by Council, Council may act as if it had received a recommendation of approval in such matters.
