tunity for redevelopment by private enterprise, consistent with the sound needs
of the locality as a whole;

of the Project Area and is sufficiently complete to indicate the relationship of
the plan to the objectives of the City as to appropriate land uses within the
Project Area and to indicate the general land uses and general standards for
redevelopment or rehabilitation within the Project Area;

assistance and benefits required by federal and state law;
