12-5244.Same; creation of incentive districts;
resolution of required findings; review by secretary of commerce and
housing.
(a) The governing body of any city or county is hereby
authorized to designate rural housing incentive districts within such city or
county. Any city governing body may designate one or more such districts in
such city, and any county governing body may designate one or more such
districts in any part of the unincorporated territory of such county. Prior to
making such a designation, the governing body shall conduct a housing needs
analysis to determine what, if any, housing needs exist within its community.
After conducting the analysis, the governing body shall adopt a resolution
containing a legal description of the proposed district, a map depicting the
existing parcels of real estate in the proposed district, and a
statement of the following findings and determinations:
(1) There is a shortage of quality housing of various price ranges in the
city or county despite the best efforts of public and private housing
developers;
(2) The shortage of quality housing can be expected to persist and that
additional financial incentives are necessary in order to encourage the private
sector to construct or renovate housing in such city or county;
(3) The shortage of quality housing is a substantial deterrent to the future
economic growth and development of such city or county; and
(4) The future economic well-being of the city or county depends on the
governing body providing additional incentives for the construction or
renovation of quality housing in such city or county.
(b) The resolution containing the findings contained in subsection (a) shall
be published at least once in the official newspaper of the city or county.
(c) Upon publication of the resolution as provided in subsection (b), the
governing body shall send a certified copy of the resolution to the secretary,
requesting that the secretary review the resolution and advise the governing
body whether the secretary agrees with the findings contained therein. If the
secretary advises the governing body in writing that the secretary agrees with
each of the findings of the governing body, the governing body may proceed to
establish the district as set forth in this act.
If the secretary fails to agree with the findings, the secretary shall advise
the governing body in writing of the specific reasons therefor.
