   1. (a) undertakes a parcel by parcel survey of the survey area;

   2. (b) provides data so the board and taxing entity committee may determine:

      1. (i) whether the conditions described in Subsection 17C-2-303(1):

         1. (A) exist in part or all of the survey area; and
         2. (B) qualify an area within the survey area as a project area; and
      2. (ii) whether the survey area contains all or part of a superfund site, an inactive industrial site, or inactive airport site;

   3. (c) includes a written report setting forth:

      1. (i) the conclusions reached;
      2. (ii) any recommended area within the survey area qualifying as a project area; and

   1. (a) If a development impediment study is not completed within one year after the adoption of the resolution under Subsection 17C-2-101.5(1) designating a survey area, the agency may not approve an urban renewal project area plan based on that development impediment study unless the agency first adopts a new resolution under Subsection 17C-2-101.5(1).
   2. (b) A new resolution under Subsection (2)(a) shall in all respects be considered to be a resolution under Subsection 17C-2-101.5(1) adopted for the first time, except that any actions taken toward completing a development impediment study under the resolution that the new resolution replaces shall be considered to have been taken under the new resolution.
