Sec. 25.
Duties
of Redevelopment Commission.
In addition to the duties elsewhere in this Act provided for it, the
Redevelopment Commission shall be charged with the performance of the
following duties:
(1) By rules, to provide for those restrictions enumerated in
subparagraphs (b) and (c) of paragraph 2 of Section 17 of this Act. Such
restrictions shall take into consideration: (a) the location of the
Development Area with reference to transportation, educational and
recreational facilities and business opportunities; (b) the use of
neighboring properties; (c) the manner of Redevelopment, including the
proposed use, of the Development Area; (d) zoning ordinances applicable to
the district; and (e) the official plan of the city, village or
incorporated town or, in the absence of such an official plan, the plan, if
any, adopted by the Plan Commission, if any, of such city, village or
incorporated town as evidenced by a report on such adopted plan prepared by
such Plan Commission and on file with the Redevelopment Commission. In the
formulation of these restrictions the suggestions of the Neighborhood
Redevelopment Corporation may be heard prior to the application for
approval of its Development Plan.
(2) By rules, to prescribe the conditions, in instances where the
Development Areas of two or more Neighborhood Redevelopment Corporations
operating or to operate in the same locality shall not encompass an
intervening area of less than two city blocks, under which contiguity, and
the extent thereof, shall be mandatory of the two or more Development
Areas. Those rules shall take into consideration: (a) the zoning ordinances
applicable to the Development Areas; (b) the extent of similarity of use of
the Development Areas and of the intervening area; and (c) the official
plan of the city, village or incorporated town or, in the absence of such
official plan, the plan, if any, adopted by the Plan Commission, if any, of
such city, village or incorporated town as evidenced by a report on such
adopted plan prepared by such Plan Commission and on file with the
Redevelopment Commission.
(3) By rules, to prescribe the form of the bond required by subparagraph
(a) of paragraph 2 of Section 17 of this Act. In prescribing that form, the
Redevelopment Commission shall take into consideration the requirements and
purposes of this Act.
(4) To determine the sufficiency in amount, in form and in the sureties
thereof, of the bond or bonds specified in subparagraph (d) of paragraph 1
of Section 42 of this Act; and determine the sufficiency of the sureties
of the bond required by subparagraph (a) of paragraph 2 of Section 17 of
this Act. In determining sufficiency of the amount of the first type of
bond or bonds, the Redevelopment Commission shall take into consideration
(a) the Development Cost of the Development, as established by it; (b) the
cost of the work, as fixed in the contract or contracts entered into by the
contractor or contractors giving bond; (c) the period of time which the
performance of the work will consume; all so as to satisfy the
Redevelopment Commission that, in its opinion, the amount of such bond or
bonds shall be sufficient to insure the expeditious performance of the
contract or contracts. In determining the sufficiency of the form of the
first type of bond or bonds, the Redevelopment Commission shall be guided
by any form commonly used by contractors in operations of similar character
in the city, village or incorporated town. In determining the sufficiency
of the security of all bonds, the Redevelopment Commission shall
investigate the financial responsibility of the sureties.
(5) At any time prior to the Redevelopment of the Development Area, and
through its members or agents duly authorized by it, to enter the lands,
property, equipment, buildings, plants and offices of a Neighborhood
Redevelopment Corporation and make personal inspection thereof. Nothing in
this Act shall be construed to alter the provisions of the laws of this
State or of any governmental subdivision thereof prescribing the
qualifications of persons authorized to plan and to supervise the
construction, enlargement or alterations of buildings.
(6) From time to time, to determine the Redevelopment pursuant to the
Development Plan of parcels of Real Property within the Development Area.
Prior to that determination, no sale or conveyance, and no lease of an
entire building or entire tract of land, shall be approved by the
Redevelopment Commission. Upon that determination being made, sales or
conveyances, and leases of entire buildings or entire tracts of land, if of
Real Property so determined to be redeveloped, shall be approved (such
approval being required by paragraphs 4 and 5 of Section 10 of this Act)
by the Redevelopment Commission, upon application by the Neighborhood
Redevelopment Corporation, without more.
(7) To determine the Redevelopment of the entire Development Area.
(8) At any time prior to the Redevelopment of the Development Area, to
order every Neighborhood Redevelopment Corporation: (a) to do such acts as
may be required by the provisions of law or such administrative rules and
regulations as may be adopted by the Redevelopment Commission in the
carrying out of the provisions of this Act or of the terms of any
application, contract or agreement herein provided to be approved by the
Redevelopment Commission in the manner prescribed by this Act; and (b) to
refrain from doing any acts in violation thereof.
(9) From time to time, to make, amend and repeal rules and regulations
for carrying into effect the provisions of this Act.
