Whereas, pursuant to Resolution , the City Council did set and hold a public hearing on this amendment after timely publication of notice thereof in the Iowa City Press Citizen as provided by Iowa Code Chapter 404 and Section 362.3. Resolution No. Page 2 Now, therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Iowa City, Iowa, that: Section 1. The Highway Commercial Urban Revitalization Plan, Section 2 "Plan Components," Paragraph A, Subsection 4.

The City Council shall review and approve by resolution projects that comply with this Plan and Iowa Code Chapter 404. Such prior approval shall not entitle the owner to exemption from taxation until the Eligible Improvements have been completed and found to be Qualified Real Estate; however, if the proposal is not approved, the person may submit an amended proposal for the City Council to approve or reject. An application shall be filed for each new exemption claimed and approved by the City Council pursuant to Iowa Code Section 404.4. The City Assessor shall physically review each first -year application pursuant to Iowa Code Section 404.5. Section 2. The Amendment No. 1 to the Highway Commercial Urban Revitalization Plan conforms to the general plan for the development of the City as a whole.
