Mailed notice to occupants is not required for the amendment. Jeff D Benson/COA Jeff D Benson/COA } 11/10/2005 10:29 AM To John R Klaus/COA@COA cc Subject Revising the South Lincoln Urban Revitalization Plan On November 22, the Council will consider a request to amend the South Lincoln Urban Revitalization Plan. If they approve the request, they would set a hearing date for amending the Plan (by resolution) not the area (by ordinance). Under State law do we need to notify this Urban Revitalization Area's owners and residents and publish notice of the hearing, both thirty days in advance of the hearing date? If that is the case, we are looking at a hearing date of January 10, 2006. If Council amends the Plan by resolution passed on January 10, 2006, then would any improvements made during 2005 that conform to that amended Plan be eligible for tax abatement(if the property owner applies for that abatement before February 1, 2006)? Or do we need to specify in the Plan amendment that the changes are retroactive to January 1, 2005? THANKS! Jeff Jeffrey D.
