(A) The city council shall cause the preparation of a master plan for the physical development of the city, including areas outside its boundaries, which in
the city council's judgment bear relation to the planning of the city. The master plan, with the accompanying maps, plats, charts, and description matter, shall show the city council's plan for the future development of said territory, including but not limited to:

(1) The general location, character, and extent of proposed land uses;

(2) The general location and extent of public facilities; and

(3) The proposed transportation plan for the city, including all appropriate modes of transportation.

(B) As the work of making the whole master plan progresses, the city council may from time to time adopt and publish a part thereof. Any such part shall cover one or more major sections or divisions of the city or one or more of the foregoing or other functional matters to be included in the master plan. The city council may amend, extend, or add to the plan from time to time. (Ord. 1072 §1, 1994)

The plan shall be made with the general purpose of guiding and accomplishing a coordinated, adjusted, and harmonious development of the city and its environs which will, in accordance with present and future needs, best promote health, safety, morals, order, convenience, prosperity, and general welfare, as well as efficiency and economy in the process of development, including, among other things, adequate provision for traffic, the promotion of safety from fire, flood waters, and other dangers, adequate provision for light and air, the promotion of healthful and convenient distribution of population, the promotion of good civic design and arrangement, wise and efficient expenditure of public funds, the promotion of energy conservation, and the adequate provision of public utilities and other public requirements. (Ord. 1072 §1, 1994)

The city council may adopt the master plan as a whole by a single resolution or may by successive resolutions adopt successive parts of the plan, said parts corresponding with major geographical sections or divisions of the city or with functional subdivisions of the subject matter of the plan, and may adopt any amendment or extension thereof or addition thereto. Before the adoption of the plan or any such part, amendment, extension, or addition, the city council shall hold at least one public hearing thereon, notice of the time and place of which shall be given in accordance with sections 17-52-010, 17-52-020, 17-52-030, 17-52-060, and 17-52-080, B.M.C. The adoption of the plan, any part, amendment, extension, or addition shall be by resolution of the city council. The resolution may refer expressly to the maps and descriptive and other matter intended by the city council to form the whole or part of the plan, and the action taken shall be recorded on the map and plan and descriptive matter by the identifying signature of the mayor or mayor pro tem and attested by the city clerk. A copy of the plan or part thereof shall be certified to each governmental body of the territory affected and shall be filed with the county clerk and recorder of each county wherein the territory is located.
