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.
