(a) To designate an area as economically depressed or blighted under the meaning provided by Section 394.003(3)(B) or (C), the governing body of the affected municipality must hold a public hearing and must find that the area substantially impairs or arrests the sound growth of the municipality or that it constitutes an economic or social liability and is, in its current condition and use, a menace to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare.
(b) The governing body shall give notice of the hearing as provided by Chapter 551, Government Code, except that the notice must be published at least 10 days before the date of the hearing.
