The commissioner may issue commitments for, and may make or contract to make, capital grants pursuant to section 5 of this act, upon his approval of any application submitted to him therefor and the finding that:

(a)the municipality or local public agency has entered into a contract with any department or agency of the United States providing for the receipt therefrom of capital grants or loans for an urban renewal project, pursuant to which contract the municipality in which the project is or will be located is obligated to make local grants-in-aid; or, in the alternative, all conditions required by any department or agency of the United States for approval of any such capital grant or loan and grant contract have been met and final application has been made therefor, or all such conditions could have been met and the said final application could have been made but for the temporary unavailability of unencumbered funds for any such capital grant or loan and grant contract, in which latter 2 instances any commitment issued or contract thereupon executed by the commissioner shall be conditioned upon approval of a capital grant or loan and grant contract by any department or agency of the United States;

(b)the proposed State capital grant will not exceed the amounts authorized by section 8 of this act;

(c)the proposed plan for the urban renewal project is consistent with any area, regional or State plan of development or any existing State program affecting land use and has been approved by the local governing body of the municipality in which the project is or will be located;

(d)the estimated funds available to the municipality and the local public agency for the urban renewal project, including loans and grants from any department or agency of the United States, local grants-in-aid and the proposed State capital grant, will be sufficient to meet all the probable costs of the project and assure its completion; and

(e)there is no legal impediment or bar to the implementation and completion of the urban renewal project.
