That it is found and determined that it is necessary and desirable for the sound and orderly development of the Development District and the City as a whole, and for the protection and prmervation of the public health, safety, and general welfare, that the authority of the TIF Act be exercised by the City to provide public financial assistance to the TIF and Development Districts. 3.02. That it ;.is further found and determined, and it is the reasoned opinion of the City, that the development proposed in the modified program and the modified TIF Plan for TIF District No. 1 Could not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the re~ nably foreseeable future and that, therefore, the use of tax increment financing is necessary. 3.03. That the proposed public improvements to be financed in part through tax increment finan¢ih§ are necessary to permit the City to realize the full potential of the TIF and Development Districts in terms of development intensity, employment opportunities and tax base. 3.04. That the modified TIF Plan conforms to the general plan of development of the City as a whole. 3.05. That the modified TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development of the TIF and Development Districts by private enterprise. 3.06. That approval of the modified TIF Plan is intended, and in the City's judgment its effect will be, to promote the public purposes and accomplish the objectives specified in the modified Plan. 3.07.
