hearing - Approval by municipality.

A. Following adoption of the ordinance described in Section 40-

104 of this title, the redevelopment trust named in such ordinance

shall thereafter develop a comprehensive approach to remedy those

blighted conditions which were found to exist within the

redevelopment district. This comprehensive approach shall consist

of one or more program plans designed to address the blighted

conditions within such redevelopment district. Before the adoption

of a program plan requiring the acquisition of land, the

redevelopment trust shall provide to the city a feasibility study,

which study shall show that the benefits derived from the program

plan will exceed the costs and that the income there from will be

sufficient to pay for the program plan.

B. Prior to the adoption of a program plan, a redevelopment

trust shall adopt a resolution relating to the proposed program

plan, which resolution shall:

1. State that a public hearing will be held to consider the

adoption of a program plan, and fix the date, hour and place of such

public hearing;

2. Describe the geographic boundaries of the area to which such

program plan relates; and

3. State that the program plan, including a summary of any

feasibility study, relocation assistance plan, financial guarantees

of a prospective developer, if applicable, and a description and map

of the area to be redeveloped are available for inspection during

regular office hours in the office of the city clerk.

C. The date fixed for the public hearing shall be not less than

ten (10) days nor more than thirty (30) days following the date of

the adoption of the resolution fixing the date of such hearing. The

resolution shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation

within such city or town as a legal, public notice once each week

for two (2) consecutive weeks, the last publication to be not more

than two (2) weeks preceding the date fixed for public hearing. If

a program plan provides for the use of eminent domain pursuant to

Section 40-115 of this title, then a summary of the program plan

shall be mailed by certified mail to each owner and occupant of land

within the proposed redevelopment district not more than ten (10)

days following the date of the adoption of the resolution. A

statement shall be included in the summary of the program plan that

the program plan is available for inspection and copying during

regular office hours in the office of the city clerk.

D. Following the hearing, the trustees of the redevelopment

trust may, by resolution, adopt the program plan as originally

proposed, or may adopt the program plan with such amendments as

deemed appropriate by the trustees of the redevelopment trust.

Thereafter, any substantial changes to a program plan, as adopted,

shall be subject to public hearing following publication of notice

thereof at least twice in a newspaper of general circulation within

such city or town.

E. After the adoption of a program plan, or any substantial

change to a program plan, the governing body of such municipality,

upon a finding by the planning commission that the program plan, or

any substantial change to the program plan is consistent with the

general comprehensive plan for the development of the city, may

approve the program plan, or any substantial change to the program
