§ 46-10. Legal status of official plan.

Whenever the commission has developed a master plan for the city, or one or more major sections or districts of the city, and has filed certified copies thereof as provided for by R.S. 33:108, no street, square, park, or other public way, ground, or open space, or public building or structure, or public utility, whether publicly or privately owned, shall be constructed or authorized in the city, or in such planned section or district until the location, character and extent thereof has been submitted to and approved by the commission. In case of disapproval, the commission shall communicate its reasons to the city council, which shall have the power to overrule such approval by recorded vote of not less than two-thirds of its entire membership; however, if the public way, ground, space, building, structure, or utility is one the authorization or financing of which does not, under the law, fall within the province of the city council, then the submission to a planning commission shall be by the board, commission, or body having such jurisdiction, and a planning commission's disapproval may be overruled by said board, commission, or body, by a vote of not less than two-thirds of its membership. Failure of a commission to act within 60 days from and after the date of official submission to the commission shall be deemed approval.
