Council shall cause to be made surveys of the exact locations of the lines of existing and proposed public streets, watercourses and public grounds, including widenings, narrowings, extensions, diminutions, openings or closings of the same, for the whole of the City, and such surveys shall be the Official Map of the City. Council, by amending existing ordinances, may make additions to or modifications of the Official Map or parts thereof by adopting surveys of the exact location of the line of a public street, watercourse or public ground to be so added or modified and may also vacate any existing or proposed public street, watercourse or public ground contained in the Official Map or part thereof.
(Ord. 3914. Passed 11-30-71.)
Prior to the adoption of any survey of existing or proposed public streets, watercourses and public grounds as the Official Map or part thereof, or any amendment to the Official Map, Council shall refer such survey and amendment to the Planning Commission for review. The Commission shall report its recommendations on such proposed Official Map, part thereof or amendment thereto within forty days, unless an extension of time is agreed to by Council. Before voting on the enactment of the proposed Official Map, part thereof or amendment thereto, Council shall hold a public hearing thereon after giving public notice of such hearing.
(Ord. 4398. Passed 9-10-86.)
After the adoption of the Official Map or part thereof, all streets, watercourses and public grounds on final, recorded plats which have been approved as provided by this Planning Code shall be deemed amendments to the Official Map. Notwithstanding any of the other terms of this Planning Code, no public hearing need be held or notice given if the amendment to the Official Map is the result of the addition of a plat which has been approved as provided by this Planning Code.
(Ord. 3914. Passed 11-30-71.)
The adoption of any street or street line as part of the Official Map shall not, in and of itself, constitute or be deemed to constitute the opening or establishment of any street, nor the taking or acceptance of any land for street purposes, nor shall it obligate the City to improve or maintain any such street. The adoption of proposed watercourses or public grounds as part of the Official Map shall not, in and of itself, constitute or be deemed to constitute a taking or acceptance of any land by the City.
(Ord. 3914. Passed 11-30-71.)
For the purpose of preserving the integrity of the Official Map of the City, no permit shall be issued for any building within the lines of any street, watercourse or public ground shown or laid out on the Official Map. No person shall recover any damages for the taking for public use of any building or improvement constructed within the lines of any street, watercourse or public ground after the same has been included in the Official Map, and any such building or improvement shall be removed at the expense of the owner. However, when the property of which the reserved location forms a part cannot yield a reasonable return to the owner unless a permit is granted, the owner may apply to Council for a permit to so build. Before granting any permit authorized in this section, Council shall give public notice and hold a public hearing at which all parties in interest shall have an opportunity to be heard. A refusal by Council to grant the permit applied for may be appealed by the applicant to a court in the same manner and within the same time limitation as are provided for zoning appeals in the Zoning Code.
(Ord. 3914. Passed 11-30-71.)
