A. Before the Mayor and Common Council adopts any resolution or ordinance ordering the construction of any improvement or the acquisition of any property for public use, or both, herein referred to as "improvement," where the cost thereof is to be paid in whole or in part by special assessment taxes upon lands, a public hearing may be held and a finding and determination made by the Mayor and Common Council as provided herein that the public convenience and necessity require the same.
B. If such procedure is not so followed and if such finding and determination is not made pursuant thereto, the requirements otherwise prescribed by Division 4, Streets and Highways Code of the state, and Article XIII, Section 17, of the Constitution shall be complied with before any such resolution or ordinance may be adopted.
