1. Describes the boundaries, which may, but need not, be the same as those recommended by the planning commission, of a tax incremental district with sufficient definiteness to identify with ordinary and reasonable certainty the territory included in the district. The boundaries of the tax incremental district may not include any annexed territory that was not within the boundaries of the city on January 1, 2004, unless at least 3 years have elapsed since the territory was annexed by the city, unless the city enters into a cooperative plan boundary agreement, under
s. 66.0301 (6) or
66.0307, with the town from which the territory was annexed, or unless the city and town enter into another kind of agreement relating to the annexation except that, notwithstanding these conditions, the city may include territory that was not within the boundaries of the city on January 1, 2004, if the city pledges to pay the town an amount equal to the property taxes levied on the territory by the town at the time of the annexation for each of the next 5 years. If, as the result of a pledge by the city to pay the town an amount equal to the property taxes levied on the territory by the town at the time of the annexation for each of the next 5 years, the city includes territory in a tax incremental district that was not within the boundaries of the city on January 1, 2004, the city's pledge is enforceable by the town from which the territory was annexed. The boundaries shall include only those whole units of property as are assessed for general property tax purposes. Property standing vacant for an entire 7-year period immediately preceding adoption of the resolution creating a tax incremental district may not comprise more than 25 percent of the area in the tax incremental district, unless the tax incremental district is suitable under
subd. 4. a. for either industrial sites or mixed use development and the local legislative body implements an approved project plan to promote industrial development within the meaning of
s. 66.1101 if the district has been designated as suitable for industrial sites, or mixed-use development if the district has been designated as suitable for mixed-use development. In this subdivision, "vacant property" includes property where the fair market value or replacement cost value of structural improvements on the parcel is less than the fair market value of the land. In this subdivision, "vacant property" does not include property acquired by the local legislative body under
ch. 32, property included within the abandoned Park East freeway corridor or the abandoned Park West freeway corridor in Milwaukee County, or property that is contaminated by environmental pollution, as defined in
s. 66.1106 (1) (d).
66.1105(4)(gm)2.
2. Creates the district as of a date provided in the resolution. If the resolution is adopted during the period between January 2 and September 30, then the date shall be the next preceding January 1. If the resolution is adopted during the period between October 1 and December 31, then the date shall be the next subsequent January 1. If the resolution is adopted on January 1, the district is created on that January 1.
66.1105(4)(gm)3.
3. Assigns a name to the district for identification purposes. The first district created shall be known as "Tax Incremental District Number One, City of ....". Each subsequently created district shall be assigned the next consecutive number.
66.1105(4)(gm)4.a.
a. Not less than 50%, by area, of the real property within the district is at least one of the following: a blighted area; in need of rehabilitation or conservation work, as defined in
s. 66.1337 (2m) (a); suitable for industrial sites within the meaning of
s. 66.1101 and has been zoned for industrial use; or suitable for mixed-use development; and
66.1105(4)(gm)4.b.
b. The improvement of the area is likely to enhance significantly the value of substantially all of the other real property in the district. It is not necessary to identify the specific parcels meeting the criteria; and
66.1105(4)(gm)4.bm.
bm. The project costs relate directly to eliminating blight, directly serve to rehabilitate or conserve the area or directly serve to promote industrial development, consistent with the purpose for which the tax incremental district is created under
subd. 4. a.; and
66.1105(4)(gm)4.c.
c. Except as provided in
sub. (17), the equalized value of taxable property of the district plus the value increment of all existing districts does not exceed 12 percent of the total equalized value of taxable property within the city. In determining the equalized value of taxable property under this
subd. 4. c., the department of revenue shall base its calculations on the most recent equalized value of taxable property of the district that is reported under
s. 70.57 (1m) before the date on which the resolution under this paragraph is adopted.
66.1105(4)(gm)5.
5. Confirms that any real property within the district that is found suitable for industrial sites and is zoned for industrial use under
subd. 4. a. will remain zoned for industrial use for the life of the tax incremental district.
66.1105(4)(gm)6.
6. Declares that the district is a blighted area district, a rehabilitation or conservation district, an industrial district, or a mixed-use district based on the identification and classification of the property included within the district under
par. (c) and
subd. 4. a. If the district is not exclusively blighted, rehabilitation or conservation, industrial, or mixed use, the declaration under this subdivision shall be based on which classification is predominant with regard to the area described in
subd. 4. a.
66.1105(4)(gs)
(gs) Review by a joint review board, acting under
sub. (4m), that results in its approval of the resolution under

66.1105(4)(h)1.1. Subject to
subds. 2.,
4.,
5., and
6., the planning commission may, by resolution, adopt an amendment to a project plan. The amendment is subject to approval by the local legislative body and approval requires the same findings as provided in
par. (g) and, if the amendment adds territory to a district under
subd. 2., approval also requires the same findings as provided in
par. (gm) 4. c. Any amendment to a project plan is also subject to review by a joint review board, acting under
sub. (4m). Adoption of an amendment to a project plan shall be preceded by a public hearing held by the plan commission at which interested parties shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to express their views on the amendment. Notice of the hearing shall be published as a class 2 notice, under
ch. 985. The notice shall include a statement of the purpose and cost of the amendment and shall advise that a copy of the amendment will be provided on request. Before publication, a copy of the notice shall be sent by 1st class mail to the chief executive officer or administrator of all local governmental entities having the power to levy taxes on property within the district and to the school board of any school district which includes property located within the proposed district. For a county with no chief executive officer or administrator, this notice shall be sent to the county board chairperson.

This subdivision does not apply to a tax incremental district that is created after January 1, 2004.
66.1105(4)(h)6.
6. Notwithstanding
subd. 1., a project plan shall be considered to have been amended, without compliance with any of the procedures required under
subd. 1., if the only change to the project plan is the extension of the period during which expenditures may be made under
sub. (6) (am) 1., as authorized under that subdivision by a provision of state law that takes effect after a tax incremental district's project plan is first adopted under
par. (f).
66.1105(4)(h)7.
7. If the department of revenue, acting under
sub. (5) (dm), makes a determination that any of the conditions listed in
