. The legislative body shall adopt or amend a general plan by
resolution, which resolution shall be adopted by the affirmative vote
of not less than a majority of the total membership of the
legislative body. The legislative body may approve, modify, or
disapprove the recommendation of the planning commission, if any.
However, any substantial modification proposed by the legislative
body not previously considered by the commission during its hearings,
shall first be referred to the planning commission for its
recommendation. The failure of the commission to report within 45
calendar days after the reference, or within the time set by the
legislative body, shall be deemed a recommendation for approval.
