Sec. 63.

If the opening, widening, or extension of a street, or the acquisition or enlargement of any square, park, playground, or other open space has been approved by a township planning commission that was created before the effective date of this act under former 1931 PA 285 or by a city or village planning commission and authorized by the legislative body as provided under section 61, the legislative body shall not rescind its authorization unless the matter has been resubmitted to the planning commission and the rescission has been approved by the planning commission. The planning commission shall hold a public hearing on the matter. The planning commission shall submit its reasons for approval or disapproval of the rescission to the legislative body. If the planning commission disapproves the rescission, the legislative body may overrule the planning commission by a vote of not less than 2/3 of its entire membership. If the planning commission fails to act within 63 days after submission of the proposed rescission to the planning commission, the proposed rescission shall be considered to be approved by the planning commission.
