This schedule shall be based on the commission’s assessment, in consultation with local governments, of each local government’s current status and progress. The schedule shall specify that submittals may not be made sooner than nor later than certain specified dates and in no event later than January 1, 1983.
(b) If a local government fails to meet the schedule established pursuant to subdivision (a), the commission may take any of the following actions:

The affected local government may choose to adopt, in whole or in part, the commission’s prepared and adopted land use plan in which event the commission shall certify the plan, in whole or in part, or it may continue to prepare its own land use plan consistent with the provisions of this chapter.
(3) Report the matter to the Legislature with recommendations for appropriate action.
