Preparation and approval of redevelopment and urban renewal plans--modification of plan.

99.430. 1. Preparation and approval of redevelopment and urban renewal

plans shall be carried out within the following regulations:



(1) An authority shall not acquire real property for a land clearance or

urban renewal project unless the governing body of the community in which the

land clearance project area or urban renewal project area is located has

approved the redevelopment or urban renewal plan, as prescribed in

subdivision (9) of this section.



(2) An authority shall not prepare a redevelopment or an urban renewal

plan for a land clearance or urban renewal project area unless the governing

body of the community in which the area is located has declared, by

resolution or ordinance, the area to be a blighted, or insanitary area in

need of redevelopment or in need of rehabilitation.



(3) An authority shall not recommend a redevelopment or urban renewal

plan to the governing body of the community in which the land clearance or

urban renewal project area is located until a general plan for the

development of the community has been prepared.



(4) The authority itself may prepare or cause to be prepared a

redevelopment or urban renewal plan or any person or agency, public or

private, may submit such a plan to an authority. A redevelopment or urban

renewal plan shall be sufficiently complete to indicate its relationship to

definite local objectives as to appropriate land uses, improved traffic,

public transportation, public utilities, recreational and community

facilities and other public improvements and the proposed land uses and

building requirements in the land clearance or urban renewal project area, and

shall include without being limited to:



(a) The boundaries of the land clearance or urban renewal project area,

with a map showing the existing uses and condition of the real property

therein;



(b) A land use plan showing proposed uses of the area;



(c) Information showing the standards of population densities, land

coverage and building intensities in the area after redevelopment or urban

renewal;



(d) A statement of the proposed changes, if any, in zoning ordinances or

maps, street layouts, street levels or grades, building codes and ordinances;



(e) A statement as to the kind and number of additional public facilities

or utilities which will be required in the area after redevelopment or urban

renewal; and



(f) A schedule indicating the estimated length of time needed for

completion of each phase of the plan.



(5) Prior to recommending a redevelopment or urban renewal plan to the

governing body for approval, an authority shall submit the plan to the

planning agency, if any, of the community in which the land clearance or

urban renewal project area is located for review and recommendations as to

its conformity with the general plan for the development of the community as

a whole. The planning agency shall submit its written recommendations with

respect to the proposed redevelopment or urban renewal plan to the authority

within thirty days after receipt of the plan for review. Upon receipt of the

recommendations of the planning agency, or, if no recommendations are

received within the thirty days, then without the recommendations, an

authority may recommend the redevelopment or urban renewal plan to the

governing body of the community for approval.



(6) Prior to recommending a redevelopment or urban renewal plan to the

governing body for approval, an authority shall consider whether the proposed

land uses and building requirements in the land clearance or urban renewal

project area are designed with the general purpose of accomplishing, in

conformance with the general plan, a coordinated, adjusted and harmonious

development of the community and its environs which, in accordance with

present and future needs, will promote health, safety, morals, order,

convenience, prosperity and the general welfare, as well as efficiency and

economy in the process of development; including, among other things,

adequate provision for traffic, vehicular parking, the promotion of safety

from fire, panic and other dangers, adequate provision for light and air, the

promotion of the healthful and convenient distribution of population, the

provision of adequate transportation, water, sewerage, and other public

utilities, schools, parks, recreational and community facilities and other

public requirements, the promotion of sound design and arrangement, the wise

and efficient expenditure of public funds, the prevention of the recurrence

of insanitary or unsafe dwelling accommodations, or insanitary areas, or

conditions of blight or deterioration, and the provision of adequate, safe

and sanitary dwelling accommodations.



(7) The recommendation of a redevelopment or urban renewal plan by an

authority to the governing body shall be accompanied by the recommendations,

if any, of the planning commission concerning the redevelopment or urban

renewal plan; a statement of the proposed method and estimated cost of the

acquisition and preparation for redevelopment or urban renewal of the land

clearance or urban renewal project area and the estimated proceeds or

revenues from its disposal to redevelopers; a statement of the proposed

method of financing the project; a statement of a feasible method proposed

for the relocation of families to be displaced from the land clearance or

urban renewal project area; and a schedule indicating the estimated length of

time needed for completion of each phase of the plan.



(8) The governing body of the community shall hold a public hearing on

any redevelopment or urban renewal plan or substantial modification thereof

recommended by the authority, after public notice thereof by publication in a

newspaper of general circulation in the community once each week for two

consecutive weeks, the last publication to be at least ten days prior to the

date set for hearing. The notice shall describe the time, date, place and

purpose of the hearing and shall also generally identify the area to be

covered by the plan. All interested parties shall be afforded at the public

hearing a reasonable opportunity to express their views respecting the

proposed redevelopment or urban renewal plan.



(9) Following the hearing, the governing body may approve a redevelopment

or urban renewal plan if it finds that the plan is feasible and in conformity

with the general plan for the development of the community as a whole. A

redevelopment or urban renewal plan which has not been approved by the

governing body when recommended by the authority may be recommended again to

it with any modifications deemed advisable.



(10) A redevelopment or urban renewal plan may be modified at any time by

the authority, provided that, if modified after the lease or sale of real

property in the land clearance or urban renewal project area, the

modification must be consented to by the redeveloper of the real property or

his successor, or their successors in interest affected by the proposed

modification. Where the proposed modification will substantially change the

redevelopment or urban renewal plan as previously approved by the governing

body, the modification must similarly be approved by the governing body.



2. As an alternative to the procedures prescribed in subdivisions (2)

and (5) of subsection 1, an authority may find an area to be a blighted,

insanitary or undeveloped area in need of redevelopment or rehabilitation,

and simultaneously prepare a plan, or adopt a plan presented to the

authority, and the authority may simultaneously recommend its finding of a

blighted, insanitary or undeveloped area and the approval of a plan to the

governing body of the community, and the governing body may make its finding

that the area is blighted, insanitary or undeveloped and approve the plan

simultaneously. Simultaneously with such recommendation of a finding of a

blighted or insanitary or undeveloped industrial area and recommendation of a

plan to the governing body for approval, an authority shall submit the

finding of a blighted or insanitary or undeveloped area and the plan to the

planning agency, if any, of the community in which the project area is

located for review and recommendation as to the conformity of the plan to the

general plan for the development of the community as a whole. The planning

agency shall submit its written recommendations with respect to the finding

of a blighted or insanitary or undeveloped industrial area and the plan to

the authority and the local governing body within thirty days after receipt

of the findings and the plan for review. Upon receipt of the recommendations

of the planning agency, or, if no recommendations are received within the

thirty days, then without the recommendations, the governing body may

simultaneously approve the finding of a blighted or insanitary or undeveloped

area and approve the plan in the manner prescribed in subdivisions (8) and

(9) of subsection 1.
