1524.01   DESIGNATION OF AREA.
   The area, the boundaries of which are designated in the map marked Exhibit "A" attached to original Resolution 242-85, passed December 17, 1985, and incorporated herein as if fully restated, is determined by Council, after a survey of the housing within the City, to be an area in which housing facilities are located and in which both new housing construction and the repair of existing facilities or structures are discouraged, and such area is, therefore, designated as a "community reinvestment area" pursuant to Ohio R.C. 3735.65 et seq.
(Res. 151-78. Passed 6-19-78; Res. 242-85. Passed 12-17-85.)
