8-3-5. Findings required before adoption of resolution


(a) A governing body shall adopt a resolution declaring that there is need for a housing authority in the city or county, as the case may be, if it shall find that insanitary or unsafe inhabited dwelling accommodations exist in such city or county or that there is a shortage of safe or sanitary dwelling accommodations in such city or county available to persons of low income at rentals they can afford.

(b) In determining whether dwelling accommodations are unsafe or insanitary, said governing body may take into consideration the degree of overcrowding; the percentage of land coverage; the light, air, space, and access available to the inhabitants of such dwelling accommodations; the size and arrangement of the rooms; the sanitary facilities; and the extent to which conditions which endanger life or property by fire or other causes exist in such buildings.
