7-2-2: - ADOPTION; AMENDMENTS:#
A.
The city council may from time to time adopt, pursuant to law, an official map of the whole or any part or parts of the city theretofore existing and established by laws as public streets. Such official map may also show the location of the lines of streets on plats of subdivisions which shall have been approved by the planning commission. The city council may make, from time to time, other additions to or modifications of the official map by placing thereon the lines of proposed new streets or street extensions, widening, narrowings or vacations which have been accurately surveyed and definitively located; provided, however, that before taking any such action, the planning commission shall hold a public hearing thereon; and provided, further, that such proposed addition to or modification of the official map shall then be submitted to the city council for a public meeting and its final approval, and in the event of such approval, such addition or modification shall require the favorable vote of not less than a majority of the entire membership of the city council. The placing of any street or street lines upon the official map shall not in and of itself constitute or be deemed to constitute the opening or establishment of any street or the taking or acceptance of any land for street purposes. Upon adoption of the ordinance creating the official map or making any amendments therein, the city council shall direct that said ordinance be recorded in the office of the county recorder.
