ANNOTATION

Sources: No specific source.

Purposes: 1. The laying out of city streets and the subdivision of city land are integral parts of planned city development. For this reason, regulations governing the subdivision of land, as well as the approval or disapproval of plans of streets and revision of such plans and land subdivision plans, fall within the province of the City Planning commission. The Commission has forty-five days instead of thirty to approve such matters because of their technical nature.

2. For the relationship between legislation affecting the subject matter of this section and the recommendations of the commission, see Sections 2-307 and 4-604.
