(a) An authority shall not actually undertake a
development project for a development area unless the governing
body, by resolution, has first approved the plan of development
which applies to the development project.
(b) Prior to its approval of a plan of development, the
governing body shall submit the plan to the planning board of
the municipality, if any, for review and recommendations. The
planning board shall submit its written recommendations with
respect to the proposed plan of development to the governing
body within thirty (30) days after receipt of the plan for
review. Upon receipt of the recommendations of the planning
board or, if no recommendations are received within thirty (30)
days, the governing body may proceed with the hearing on the
proposed plan of development prescribed by subsection (c) of
this section.
(c) The governing body shall hold a public hearing on a
plan of development or substantial modification of an approved
plan of development after public notice by one (1) publication
during the week immediately preceding the hearing, in a
newspaper having a general circulation in the municipality. The
notice shall describe the time, date, place and purpose of the
hearing, shall generally identify the plan of development area
covered by the plan and shall outline the general scope of the
development project under consideration.
(d) Following the hearing, the governing body may approve
a plan of development if it finds there is a need to take
corrective measures in order to halt or prevent deterioration of
property values or structures within the development area or to
halt or prevent the growth of blighted areas therein, or any
combination thereof, and if it further finds that the plan will
afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs and
plans of the municipality as a whole, for the development or
redevelopment of the development area by the authority and by
private enterprise.
