15-9-114. Condemnation.
(a) A municipality has the right to acquire by condemnation any interest in real property, including a fee simple title thereto, which it deems necessary for or in connection with an urban renewal project under this chapter. A municipality may exercise the power of eminent domain in the manner now provided or which may be hereafter provided by any other statutory provisions. Property already devoted to a public use may be acquired in like manner, provided that no real property belonging to the United States, the state or any political subdivision thereof, may be acquired without its consent.
(b) In any proceeding to fix compensation for damages for the taking or damaging of property, or any interest therein, through the exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, evidence or testimony bearing upon the following matters is admissible and shall be considered, in addition to evidence or testimony otherwise admissible, in fixing the compensation for damages:
(i) Any use, condition, occupancy or operation of the property, which is unlawful or violative of or subject to elimination, abatement, prohibition or correction under any law or any ordinance or regulatory measure of the state, county, municipality, other political subdivisions or any agency thereof, in which the property is located, as being unsafe, substandard, unsanitary or otherwise contrary to the public health, safety or welfare;
(ii) The effect on the value of the property of any such use, condition, occupancy or operation, or of the elimination, abatement, prohibition or correction of any such use, condition, occupancy or operation.
(c) The testimony or evidence specified in subsection (b) of this section is admissible notwithstanding that no action has been taken by any public body or public office toward the abatement, prohibition, elimination or correction of any such use, condition, occupancy or operation. Testimony or evidence that any public body or public office charged with the duty or authority so to do has rendered, made or issued any judgment, decree, determination or order for the abatement, prohibition, elimination or correction of any such use, condition, occupancy or operation is admissible and is prima facie evidence of the existence and character of that use, condition or operation.
