23. A final revenue allocation plan shall be submitted to the governing body of the municipality for approval by ordinance. When an ordinance embodying a final revenue allocation plan has been introduced in writing at a meeting of the governing body and approved on first reading, which may be by title, by a majority of the authorized membership thereof, it shall be submitted, together with all included and incorporated certificates and documents and such additional supporting documentation as the board may by rule prescribe, to the board.

The board shall approve the plan if it determines that:

a. the planned developments are likely to be realized and would not be accomplished by private enterprise without the creation of the district and the financing of the proposed project or projects;

b. the pledged revenues will be sufficient to pay debt service on bonds and discharge any obligations undertaken by the district agent to effectuate the plan;

c. the credit of the municipality and its ability to pay the principal of and interest on its debts and to provide essential public services will not be impaired;

d. any insufficiency or shortfall in the amount of the revenues or guarantees pledged to pay debt service or bonds issued to effectuate the plan would not pose inappropriate risk or undue financial hardship to the taxpayers of the community;

e. there are no other factors which, in the determination of the board, will impair the credit of the municipality or reduce its ability to pay punctually the principal of and interest on its debts and supply other essential public improvements and services; and

f. the planned development does one or more of the following: promote approaches and concepts to reduce congestion; enhance mobility; assist in the redevelopment of our municipalities; and otherwise improve the quality of life of our citizens.
