     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 Repealed, 1995 c 167 s 16 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.
