(A) The Planning Commission, with the assistance of the city staff, upon instruction by the Council, shall prepare an official map of the platted and unplatted portion of the city and adjoining territory, or portions thereof, or any map of future platted areas or any revised maps as may be necessary, indicating upon such map, the proposed future extension or widening of streets of the city within such existing platted and undeveloped territory or across such unplatted territory.
(B) After such map has been prepared and a hearing on it has been held as provided in § 32.70, it shall be submitted to the Council, which shall thereupon consider such map and may adopt it or any part of it with such amendments as it deems advisable. Before such adoption by the Council, a public hearing shall be held upon the proposal at least ten (10) days after a notice thereof has been published in the official newspaper of the city. After such map has been adopted by the Council and filed with the Register of Deeds, whenever any existing street or highway is widened or improved, or any new street is opened, or lands for other public purposes are acquired by action of the city, it shall not be required in such proceedings to pay for any building or structure placed without a permit or in violation of conditions of a permit after the filing of such a map within the limits of the mapped street, or outside of any building line that may have been established upon the existing street, or within any area thus reserved for public purposes.
