Before adopting or amending any subdivision regulations, the Planning Commission shall call and hold a hearing on such regulations or amendments thereto. Notice of such hearing shall be published at least once in the official city newspaper. Such notice shall be published at least 20 days prior to the hearing. Such notice shall fix the time and place for such hearing and shall describe such proposal in general terms. The Planning Commission shall prepare its recommendations and by a majority vote adopt the proposed subdivision regulations and shall submit them in writing with a written summary of the hearing to the Governing Body.

The Governing Body either may approve, override or return amendments for reconsideration to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission may resubmit original, new or amended recommendations to the Governing Body. Upon return from the Planning Commission to the Governing Body, the Governing Body by simple majority may adopt, revise, or amend and adopt or take no further action. If the Planning Commission fails to deliver its recommendations to the Governing Body following the Planning Commission’s next regular meeting, the Governing Body shall consider it as a resubmission of the original recommendations and proceed accordingly. The proposed subdivision regulations and any amendments thereto shall become effective upon publication of the respective adopting ordinance.
