If a proposed redevelopment project area falls wholly within the municipality, only the municipality must apply to the MDA for designation as a redevelopment municipality. If a proposed redevelopment project area falls wholly within the county and outside the boundaries of a municipality, only the county may apply to the MDA for designation as a redevelopment county. If a proposed redevelopment project area falls partly within and partly without a municipality, then both the county and municipality must apply for designation as a redevelopment county and municipality; however, the county and municipality may submit a single application to the MDA, but the governing bodies of both the county and the municipality must pass resolutions meeting the requirements of paragraph (c)(ii) of subsection (1) of this section.
