Local governing body must hold a public hearing on an urban renewal project plan before determining whether to designate an area as appropriate for urban renewal and before adopting any related resolution.

Notice of the public hearing must be published in a newspaper with general circulation in the municipality, describing the time, date, place, purpose, and generally identifying the urban renewal area and scope of the project.

Planning commission must submit written recommendations on the proposed urban renewal plan's conformity with the municipality's general plan within 30 days of receiving the plan for review.

Local governing body may approve an urban renewal project only if it finds four conditions are met: feasible relocation of displaced families, plan conformity with general municipal plan, adequate consideration of parks and recreational areas, and maximum private enterprise redevelopment opportunity.

Notwithstanding other requirements, local governing body may approve an urban renewal plan for disaster areas without regard to general plan requirements or public hearing provisions when the governor certifies the need for disaster assistance under federal law.
