J. MILLARD TAWES, Governor                       1331

describe the time, date, place and purpose of the hearing, shall
generally identify the urban renewal area covered by the plan, and
shall outline the general scope of the urban renewal project under
consideration. Following such hearing, the municipality may approve
an urban renewal project and the plan therefor if it finds that: (1) a
feasible method exists for the location of any families who will be
displaced from the urban renewal area in decent, safe and sanitary
dwelling accommodations within their means and without undue
hardship to such families; (2) the urban renewal plan substantially
conforms to the master plan of the municipality as a whole; and
(3) the urban renewal plan will afford maximum opportunity, con-
sistent with the sound needs of the municipality as a whole, for the
rehabilitation or redevelopment of the urban renewal area by private
enterprise.

(b)  An urban renewal plan may be modified at any time, provided
that if modified after the lease or sale of real property in the urban
renewal project area, the modification may be conditioned upon such
approval of the owner, lessee or successor in interest as the munici-
pality may deem advisable and in any event shall be subject to such
rights at law or in equity as a lessee or purchaser, or his successor
or successors in interest, may be entitled to assert. Where the pro-
posed modification will substantially change the urban renewal plan
as previously approved by the municipality, the modification shall
be formally approved by the municipality as in the case of an
original plan.

(c)  Upon the approval by the municipality of an urban renewal
plan or of any modification thereof, such plan or modification shall
be deemed to be in full force and effect for the respective urban
renewal area and the municipality may then cause such plan or
modification to be carried out in accordance with its terms.

6. Disposal of Property in Urban Renewal Area

(a) The municipality may sell, lease or otherwise transfer real
property or any interest therein acquired for it by an urban renewal
project, for residential, recreational, commercial, industrial, educa-
tional or other uses or for public use, or may retain such property
or interest for public use, in accordance with the urban renewal plan,
subject to such covenants, conditions and restrictions, including
covenants running with the land, as it may deem to be necessary or
desirable to assist in preventing the development or spread of future
slums or blighted area or to otherwise carry out the purposes of this
subheading. The purchasers or lessees and their successors and
assigns shall be obligated to devote such real property only to the
uses specified in the urban renewal plan, and may be obligated to
comply with such other requirements as the municipality may deter-
mine to be in the public interest, including the obligation to begin
within a reasonable time any improvements on such real property
required by the urban renewal plan. Such real property or interest
shall be sold, leased, otherwise transferred, or retained at not less
than its fair value for uses in accordance with the urban renewal
plan. In determining the fair value of real property for uses in
accordance with the urban renewal plan, the municipality shall take
into account and give consideration to the uses provided in such plan;
the restrictions upon, and the covenants, conditions and obligations
