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 insantiary or undeveloped area and approve the plan in the manner prescribed in subdivisions (8) and (9) of subsection 1. The findings in Section 2 of this report indicate that the conditions are present for the Area to be declared a Blighted Area pursuant to the LCRA Law. Should the City adopt the findings and declare the Area a Blighted Area under the conditions of the LCRA Law this condition will be met. ÐÙßÊ ËÎÞßÒ ÝÑÒÍËÔÌ×ÒÙ 13 80759 1/08/08
