A. After the municipal legislative body has adopted a general plan, or amendment thereto, the planning agency shall undertake the following actions to encourage effectuation of the plan:
1. Investigate and make recommendations to the legislative body upon reasonable and practical means for putting into effect the general plan or part thereof in order that it will serve as a pattern and guide for the orderly growth and development of the municipality and as a basis for the efficient expenditure of its funds relating to the subjects of the general plan. The measures recommended may include plans, regulations, financial reports and capital budgets.
2. Render an annual report to the legislative body on the status of the plan and progress in its application.
3. Endeavor to promote public interest in and understanding of the general plan and regulations relating to it.
4. Consult and advise with public officials and agencies, public utility companies, civic, educational, professional and other organizations and citizens generally with relation to carrying out the general plan.
B. Upon adoption of a general plan or part thereof, each municipal officer, department, board or commission, and each governmental body, commission or board whose jurisdiction lies entirely or partially within the municipality, whose functions include recommending, preparing plans for or constructing major public works, shall submit to an agency, as designated by the respective municipal legislative body, a list of the proposed public works located entirely or partially within the municipality recommended for planning, initiation or construction during the ensuing fiscal year. The agency shall list and classify all such recommendations and shall prepare a coordinated program of proposed public works for the ensuing fiscal year. Such coordinated program shall be submitted to the municipal planning agency for review and report to such agency as to conformity with the adopted general plan or part thereof.
C. No public real property may be acquired by dedication or otherwise for street, square, park or other public purposes, no public real property may be disposed of, no public street may be vacated or abandoned and no public building or structure may be constructed or authorized, if an adopted general plan or part thereof applies thereto, until the location, purpose and extent of such acquisition or disposition, such street vacation or abandonment, or such public building or structure have been submitted to and reported upon by the planning agency as to conformity with such adopted general plan or part thereof. The planning agency shall render its report as to conformity with such adopted general plan or part thereof within forty days after the matter was submitted to it. The provisions of this subsection do not apply to acquisitions or abandonments for street widening or alignment projects of a minor nature if the legislative body so provides by ordinance or resolution.
