[R.O. 2011 §12.12.010; Prior Code §32A-1; Ord. No. 5085 §1]
This Chapter shall be known and may be cited and referred to as "the urban redevelopment ordinance".
[R.O. 2011 §12.12.020; Prior Code §32A-2; Ord. No. 5085 §2]
It is determined and declared by the Council that in certain portions of the City obsolete, decadent, substandard, insanitary or blighted areas exist occasioned by inadequate planning, excessive land coverage, lack of proper light, air or open space, defective design or arrangement of buildings, lack of proper sanitary facilities, or the existence of buildings which by reason of age, obsolescence, inadequate or outmoded design, or physical deterioration have impaired the economic value of large areas, infecting them with blight, and that such areas are characterized by depreciated values, impaired investments, reduced or negligible income and consequent tax delinquencies; that such conditions exist in areas where obsolete, decadent, substandard, insanitary, outworn or outmoded industrial, commercial or residential buildings prevail, and the same are conducive to ill health, transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile delinquency and crime, that such conditions occur chiefly in areas which are subdivided into small parcels with multiple ownership and frequently with confusion as to titles; that their assembly for purposes of clearance, replanning, rehabilitation, reconstruction and redevelopment is difficult and costly; that the existence of such condition and the failure to clear, replan, rehabilitate, reconstruct or redevelop these areas result in progressive deterioration, in a loss of population by the areas, causes a wasteful expenditure of public funds for policing, and occasions large outlays for the creation of public facilities and services elsewhere; that it is impossible and uneconomical for individual owners to independently undertake to remedy such conditions; that such conditions require the employment of capital on an investment basis allowing, however, the widest latitude in the amortization of any indebtedness created thereby; that such conditions further require the acquisition of adequate areas, at fair prices, the clearance of such areas through demolition of existing obsolete, decadent, inadequate, unsafe or insanitary buildings and the redevelopment of such areas under proper supervision with appropriate planning as to land use and construction policies; that the clearance, replanning, rehabilitation, reconstruction and redevelopment of such areas on a large-scale basis are necessary for the public welfare and are public uses and purposes for which private property may be acquired by purchase or eminent domain; and that such obsolete, decadent, substandard, insanitary and blighted areas constitute a menace to the health, safety, morals and welfare of the citizens of the City. Therefore, the necessity for the provisions herein enacted is declared as a matter of legislative determination to be in the public interest.
[R.O. 2011 §12.12.030; Prior Code §32A-3; Ord. No. 5085 §3]
The provisions of the Urban Redevelopment Corporations Law found at Chapter 353, RSMo., are accepted and all of the provisions thereof incorporated by reference herein. All such provisions shall apply to all persons and corporations operating under this Chapter insofar as the same may be applicable thereto.
[R.O. 2011 §12.12.040; Prior Code §32A-4; Ord. No. 5085 §4]
The following terms, whenever used or referred to in this Chapter and any contract entered into pursuant hereto, shall, unless a different intent clearly appears from the context, be construed to have the following meanings:

Those portions of the City which the Council determines, that by reason of age, obsolescence, inadequate or outmoded design or physical deterioration, have become economic and social liabilities and that the conditions in such localities are conducive to ill health, transmission of disease, crime or inability to pay reasonable taxes.
The City of University City.
The City Plan Commission.
The taking or possession of land, clearance of an area, erection of improvements and all other related matters to effectuate an approved development plan causing the physical rehabilitation, reconstruction and redevelopment of an area.

A plan, together with any amendments thereto, for the redevelopment of all or any part of a blighted area.
Includes lands, buildings, improvements, land under water, waterfront property, and any and all easements, franchises and hereditaments, corporeal or incorporeal, and every estate, interest, privilege, easement, franchise and right therein, or appurtenant thereto, legal or equitable, including restrictions of record, created by plat, covenant, or otherwise, rights-of-way, and terms for years.

[R.O. 2011 §12.12.090; Prior Code §32A-9; Ord. No. 5085 §9]
