The exemption may run for a maximum period of 10 years following the new construction.
II. Once adopted by the local legislative body, the percentage rate and duration of the exemption shall be granted on a per case basis based on the amount and value of public benefit as determined by the governing body either:
(a) To all properties within the municipality; or
(b) To a specific group or groups of parcels within the municipality as designated by the legislative body.
III. For the purposes of this section, public benefit shall be defined by the local legislative body as part of the adoption of the property tax exemption.
