The commission shall submit to the municipal committee established pursuant to section 7 of P.L.1968, c.404 (C. 13:17-7) for review, prior to final action thereon, codes and standards formulated by the commission, the district master plan and amendments thereto, development and redevelopment plans, and improvement plans. The commission may also submit to the committee any other matter which the commission deems advisable.
