§ 123. Legal effect of master plan.

Following the adoption of the master plan by the council, no subdivision, street, park, nor any public way, ground or space, public building or structure and no public utility whether publicly or privately owned, shall be constructed or authorized in the city, nor shall any real property be acquired by the city, until and unless the location and extent thereof shall have been submitted to and approved by the commission; provided, that, in case of disapproval, the commission shall communicate its reasons to the council, which shall have the power to overrule such disapproval, and, upon such overruling, the council or the appropriate office, department or agency shall have power to proceed. The widening, narrowing, relocation, vacation or change in the use of any street, river, or watercourse, or other public way or ground or the sale of any public building or real property shall be subject to similar submission and approval, and failure to approve may be similarly overruled by the council. The failure of the commission to act within thirty days after the date of official submission to the commission shall be deemed approval, unless a longer period be granted by the council or the submitting official.
