It shall be the function and duty of the Commission to make and adopt a community land use plan, known as the "Master Plan," for the physical development of the city, including any areas outside of its boundaries which, in the Commission's judgment, bear relation to the planning of the city. The plan, with the accompanying maps, plats, charts, and descriptive matter shall show the Commission's recommendations for the development of the territory, including among other things, the general location, character, and extent of streets, viaducts, subways, bridges, waterways, water fronts, boulevards, parkways, playgrounds and open spaces, the general location of public buildings and other public property, and the general location and extent of public utilities and terminals, whether publicly or privately owned or operated, for water, light, sanitation, transportation, communication, power, and other purposes; also the removal, relocation, widening, narrowing, vacating, abandonment, change of use or extension of any of the foregoing ways, grounds, open spaces, buildings, property, utilities or terminals; as well as a zoning plan for the control of the height, area, bulk location, and use of buildings and premises. As the work of making the whole master plan progresses, the Commission may from time to time adopt and publish a part or parts thereof, any such part to cover one or more major sections or divisions of the city or one or more of the aforesaid or other functional matters to be included in the plan. The Commission may from time to time amend, extend, or add to the plan.
