A. Planning Commission Action: Before adopting the master plan or any part of it, or any substantial amendments thereof, the commission shall hold at least one public hearing thereon, notice of the time and place of which shall be given at least by one publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the city, at least ten (10) days before the date of the hearing.
The adoption of the master plan, or of any amendments, extensions, or additions thereof, shall be by resolution of the commission carried by the affirmative votes of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the total membership of the commission. The resolution shall refer expressly to the maps, descriptive matter and other matter intended by the commission to constitute the plan or any amendment, addition or extension thereof, and the action taken shall be recorded on the map and plan and descriptive matter by the identifying signatures of the secretary and chairman of the commission.
No plan or map, hereafter, shall have indicated thereon that it is a part of the master plan until it shall have been adopted as part of the master plan by the commission as herein provided for the adoption thereof, whenever changes, conditions or future studies by the commission require such amendments, extensions or additions.
An attested copy of any part, amendment, extension of or addition to the master plan adopted by the commission shall be certified to the board of councilmen.
B. Governing Board Action: Upon receipt of a certified copy of the master plan, or of any part thereof as adopted by the commission, the board of councilmen may adopt such parts thereof as may practicably be applied to the development of the city for a reasonable period of time next ensuing.
The part shall thereupon be endorsed and certified as master plans thus adopted for the territory covered, and are hereby declared to be established to conserve and promote the public health, safety and general welfare.
Before adopting any plan or part hereof, the board of councilmen shall hold at least one public hearing thereon, notice of the time and place of which shall be published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the city at least ten (10) days before the date of hearing.
No change in or addition to the master plan or any part thereof, as adopted by the commission, shall be made by the board of councilmen in adopting the same until the proposed change or additions shall have been referred to the commission for a report thereon and an attested copy of the report shall have been filed with the board of councilmen. Failure of the commission to so report within forty (40) days, or such longer period as may be designated by the board of councilmen after such reference, shall be deemed to be approval of the proposed change or addition.
