As the work of making the whole Master Plan, or Comprehensive Development Plan, proceeds, the Commission may, from time to time, adopt and publish parts thereof. Any such part shall cover one or more major sections or divisions of the Municipality 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.
