Program for age-restricted housing

Sec. 49. (a) A commission may adopt a resolution to establish a program for age-restricted housing. The program:

(1) must be limited to age-restricted housing that satisfies the requirements of 42 U.S.C. 3607 (the federal Housing for Older Persons Act);

(2) may include any relevant elements the commission considers appropriate;

(3) may be adopted as part of a redevelopment plan or an amendment to a redevelopment plan; and

(4) may establish an allocation area for purposes of sections 39 and 50 of this chapter for the accomplishment of the program.

The program must be approved by the municipal legislative body or county executive as specified in section 17 of this chapter.

(b) The notice and hearing provisions of sections 17 and 17.5 of this chapter, including notice under section 17(c) of this chapter to a taxing unit that is wholly or partly located within an allocation area, apply to the resolution adopted under subsection (a). Judicial review of the resolution may be made under section 18 of this chapter.

(c) Before formal submission of any age-restricted housing program to the commission, the department of redevelopment:

(1) shall consult with persons interested in or affected by the proposed program; and

(2) shall hold public meetings in the areas to be affected by the proposed program to obtain the views of affected persons.
