The process is in motion now, and should be completed midway next year. So unless the City Council strips those powers out of the final version - which I find not likely - the Planning Commision will hold that extra leverage over designs in the rezoning area. And most people will probably agree with it, because they see it as a way of ensuring quality designs, while ignoring other implications.
