Sec. 15.
Technical assistance grants.
The Department may make grants to units of local government
to develop, update,
administer, and
implement comprehensive plans, subsidiary plans, land development regulations,
development
incentives, market feasibility studies, and
environmental assessments
that promote and encourage the principles of comprehensive planning.
Comprehensive planning includes appropriately and proportionally weighing the
elements listed in Section 25 of this Act and including them within the
comprehensive plan.
The Department may adopt rules establishing standards and procedures for
determining eligibility for the grants, regulating the use of funds under the
grants, and requiring
periodic reporting of the results and impact of activities funded by the
grants. No individual grant
under this Act may have duration of more than 24 months.
The Department, in the determination of grantees, may also seek an even
balance of
grants within metropolitan regions.
