WEST VIRGINIA CODE
WVC 16 - 18 - 26
§16-18-26. Urban renewal plan.
Any urban renewal project undertaken pursuant to the
preceding section shall be undertaken in accordance with an urban
renewal plan for the area of the project. As used in this
article, an "urban renewal plan" means a plan, as it exists from
time to time, for an urban renewal project, which plan (1) shall
conform to the general plan for the community as a whole, except
as provided for disaster areas, and (2) shall be sufficiently
complete to indicate such land acquisition, demolition and
removal of structures, redevelopment, improvements, and
rehabilitation as may be proposed to be carried out in the area
of the urban renewal project, zoning and planning changes, if
any, land uses, maximum densities, building requirements, and the
plan's relationship to definite local objectives representing
appropriate land uses, improved traffic, public transportation,
public utilities, recreational and community facilities, and
other public improvements. An urban renewal plan shall be
prepared and approved pursuant to the same procedure as provided
in this article with respect to a redevelopment plan. Where real
property acquired by a community is to be transferred in
accordance with the urban renewal plan, any contract for such
transfer and the urban renewal plan (or such part or parts of
such contract or plan as the authority may determine) may be
recorded in the land records of the county in such manner as to
afford actual or constructive notice thereof.
