zoning, subdivisions, building construction and design, housing, and the control of

air and water pollution and solid waste disposal which has been approved by the State

Department of Health, and other subjects necessary to carry out the plan or to undertake

a workable program of community improvement. No codes or standards concerning building construction and design shall be promulgated

without the certificate of the chief engineer or equivalent official of the commission

that the proposed codes and standards meet the engineering standards adopted by the

commission. No municipality shall enact or enforce any code which is inconsistent with the code

contained in the master plan insofar as such code applies to property within the district;

provided, however, that the governing body or other appropriate body of each constituent

municipality may enact zoning ordinances and any other codes or standards, which it

is authorized by the laws of this State to enact, for lands within the boundaries

of said municipality which are subject to the jurisdiction of the commission and which

will effectuate the purposes of the commission's master plan.
