South end Redevelopment Commission Regula Meeting - April 25, 1980 7. PROGRESS REPORTS a. tinued... Mrs. Kolata: The only public hearing actually called for in the ordinance is at the City Council. There will be legal notices of the hearing and it would be at the time -of the recon- firming resolution. The whole process would probably take 6 to 8 weeks for each decision, by the time it makes the rounds. I believe we have 30 days to investigate and report, and I believe Area Plan also has 30 days to see if each abatement request is in conformity with the master plan. Mr. Kagel: I have a question. If rejected by the Area Plan Commission, is there redress or recourse? Mr. Ellison: Well that is not spelled out in detail but the local ordinance models the state redevelopment statute in terms of procedures that we go through for declaratory process. If the Commission passed a declaratory resolution and the Area Plan Commission had objections, the Commission would take those into account as the resolution came back for the confirming declaratory process. Presumably the Commission, or the Council in this instance, would make some judgement. I really suspect from a practical matter that the Area Plan's concurrence would likely be fairly standard. If there are problems, they would likely occur on the front end where the Redevelopment Commission is asked to do a study and to provide evidence to show that the statutory tests are met. If, for instance, we receive a request or petition for property that clearly does not meet any of those tests, that is that the public action is not necessary to cause some development to happen if the area is not right, etc. We would presumably put that in the report, and recommend that an abatement not be be granted. -31-
