The planning commission, with the assistance of the city engineer, may and upon instructions by the council shall, prepare an official map of the platted and unplatted portions of the city and adjoining territory, or portions thereof, indicating upon such map the proposed future extension or widening of streets of the city within such existing platted and developed territory or across such unplatted territory.

(b)

After such map described in subsection (a) of this section has been prepared and a hearing on it has been held by the planning commission pursuant to notice, as provided in section 20-16 of this chapter, it shall be submitted to the council, which shall thereupon consider such map and may adopt it or any part of it with such amendments as it deems advisable. Before such adoption by the council, a public hearing shall be held upon the proposal at least ten (10) days after notice thereof has been published in the official newspaper of the city.
