462C.04 PLAN REVIEW.
    Subdivision 1.[Repealed, 1995 c 167 s 16]
    Subd. 2. Program review. A public hearing shall be held on each program after one
publication of notice in a newspaper circulating generally in the city, at least 15 days before the
hearing. On or before the day on which notice of the public hearing is published, the city shall
submit the program to the metropolitan council, if the city is located in the metropolitan area as
defined in section 473.121, subdivision 2, or to the regional development commission for the
area in which the city is located, if any, for review and comment. The appropriate reviewing
agency shall comment on:
(a) whether the program furthers local and regional housing policies and is consistent with
the Metropolitan Development Guide, if the city is located in the metropolitan area, or adopted
policies of the regional development commission; and
(b) the compatibility of the program with the housing portion of the comprehensive plan of
the city, if any.
Review of the program may be conducted either by the board of the reviewing agency or
by the staff of the agency. Any comment submitted by the reviewing agency to the city must be
presented to the body considering the proposed program at the public hearing held on the program.
A member or employee of the reviewing agency shall be permitted to present the comments
of the reviewing agency at the public hearing. After conducting the public hearing, the program
may be adopted with or without amendment, provided that any amendments must not be
inconsistent with the comments, if any, of the reviewing agency and must not contain any material
changes from the program submitted to the reviewing agency other than changes in the financial
aspects of any proposed issue of bonds or obligations. If any material change other than a change
in the financial aspects of a proposed issue of bonds or obligations, or any change which is
inconsistent with the comments of the reviewing agency is adopted, the amended program shall
be resubmitted to the appropriate reviewing agency for review and comment, and a public hearing
shall be held on the amended program after one publication of notice in a newspaper circulating
generally in the city at least 15 days before the hearing. The amended program shall be considered
after the public hearing in the same manner as consideration of the initial program.
    Subd. 3. City report. Within 30 days after the bonds are issued for a housing program, the
city shall submit a report to the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, the Metropolitan Council if
the city is located within the metropolitan area as defined in section 473.121, subdivision 2, or the
appropriate regional development commission. The report must include a program description,
the amount of bonds issued, the income limits, and the rent levels.
    Subd. 4. Annual legislative report. The Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, in cooperation
with the Metropolitan Council and the regional development commissions, shall report annually
to the legislature on the number and amounts of bond issues and the number of housing programs
established pursuant to sections 462C.01 to 462C.08.
