Section 8-169e. - Modification of existing development plans. Acquisition of property.

(a) No activity under a community development plan which is inconsistent with any development plan, harbor improvement plan, housing site development plan, redevelopment plan or urban renewal plan, or modification of such plan shall be undertaken until appropriate conforming amendments are adopted in accordance with the provisions of sections 8-136, 8-200 and 13b-56.

(b) (1) No activity under a community development plan or modification of such plan which would require the preparation and adoption of a new development plan, harbor improvement plan, housing site development plan, redevelopment plan or urban renewal plan shall be undertaken until such development, harbor improvement, housing site development, redevelopment or urban renewal plan is adopted pursuant to section 8-127, 8-191 or 13b-56.
(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision (1) of this subsection, when the legislative body of a municipality finds that the acquisition of noncontiguous single parcels designated in the community development plan is necessary to prevent the spread of slum or blight, the municipality or a community development agency, acting in the name of the municipality, may acquire such parcels without the adoption of a development plan, harbor improvement plan, housing site development plan, redevelopment plan or urban renewal plan. Such acquisition may be undertaken in the manner provided for redevelopment agencies in sections 8-129 to 8-133, inclusive. The municipality may sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any property so acquired in the manner provided for redevelopment agencies in section 8-137.
(c) No property shall be acquired pursuant to a community development plan unless such acquisition is approved by the legislative body of the municipality (1) after a public hearing, notice of which has been published at least once not less than two weeks prior to such hearing in a newspaper having general circulation in the municipality and (2) the legislative body finds that adequate relocation resources are available. If such property was specifically identified for acquisition in the community development plan or the acquisition of such property is part of a development plan, harbor improvement plan, housing site development plan, redevelopment plan or urban renewal plan, no public hearing shall be required pursuant to subdivision (1) of this subsection.
