693 - Area designation.

  693.  Area  designation.  An urban development action area shall by
  resolution be designated by the governing body,  or  by  the  commission
  where  so authorized to act by the governing body, on its own initiative
  or upon recommendation of the agency, provided at least sixty percent of
  such area is  an  eligible  area.  Any  such  designation  shall  be  in
  conformance  with the standards and procedures required for all land use
  determinations pursuant to general, special or  local  law  or  charter.
  Provided,  however,  that  if  a  proposed urban development action area
  project is to be developed on an eligible area and  consists  solely  of
  the  rehabilitation  or  conservation  of  existing  private or multiple
  dwellings or the construction of one to four unit  dwellings  or,  until
  June  thirtieth,  two thousand eighteen, for up to six urban development
  action area projects in any calendar year, the  construction  of  up  to
  ninety  dwelling units financed by the federal government and restricted
  to occupancy by the elderly or by persons with disabilities without  any
  change in land use permitted by local zoning, the governing body, or the
  commission  where  so authorized to act by the governing body, may waive
  the area designation requirement.
