353.040. Life insurance company operating as urban redevelopment corporation — limitation on earnings — disposition of surplus. — 1. Any life insurance company operating as an urban redevelopment corporation under this chapter shall be limited in its net earnings derived exclusively from the ownership or operation of any redevelopment project on real property owned by, or leased to, any such life insurance company, and constructed pursuant to a redevelopment plan to an amount not to exceed eight percent per annum of the cost to such company of the redevelopment project including the cost of the land, or the balances of such cost as reduced by amortization payments; provided, that the net earnings derived from any redevelopment project shall in no event exceed a sum equal to eight percent per annum upon the entire cost thereof.

Such net earnings shall be computed after deducting from gross earnings the following:

(1)All costs and expenses of maintenance and operation;

(2)Amounts paid for taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and other similar charges;

(3)An annual amount sufficient to amortize the cost of the entire project at the end of the period, which shall be not more than sixty years from the date of completion of the project.

2. The development plan may contain provisions satisfactory to the legislative authority authorizing such plan that any surplus earnings in excess of the rate of net earnings provided in this chapter may be held by the company as a reserve for maintenance of such rate of return in the future and may be used by the company to offset any deficiency in such rate of return which may have occurred in prior years; or may be used to accelerate the amortization payments; or for the enlargement of the project; or for reduction in rentals therein; provided, that any excess of such surplus earnings remaining at the termination of the tax relief granted pursuant to section 353.110 shall be turned over by the company to the city.
