[municipal] plan and a part thereof. Approval of a plat shall not
be deemed to constitute or effect an acceptance by the public of
any street or other open space shown upon the plat. The planning
commission may, from time to time, recommend to [council] the
local legislative body amendments of the zoning ordinance or map
or additions thereto to conform to the commission's recommenda-
tions for the zoning regulation of the territory comprised within
approved subdivisions. The commission shall have the power to
agree with applicant upon use, height, area or bulk requirements
or restrictions [governing buildings and premises within the sub-
division, provided such requirements or restrictions do not authorize
the violation of the then effective zoning ordinance of the munici-
pality.] which are designed to promote the purposes of the zoning
ordinance of the jurisdiction. Such requirements or restrictions shall
be stated upon the plat prior to the approval and recording thereof
and shall have the same force of law and be enforceable in the same
manner and with the same sanctions and penalties and subject to
the same power of amendment or repeal as though set out as a part
of the zoning ordinance or map of the [municipality] jurisdiction.
