(b) Examine the conditions within the area to determine whether the area still qualifies as a blighted area, a substandard area, or an extremely blighted area as such terms are defined in section 18-2103.

If the same area has been designated as both a substandard and blighted area and an extremely blighted area, the governing body may remove both designations in a single resolution.
(3) Removal of a substandard and blighted area designation or an extremely blighted area designation pursuant to this section shall not affect the validity of (a) any redevelopment plan or redevelopment project involving such area that was approved prior to the removal of such designation or (b) any bond, security for such bond, redevelopment contract, or agreement relating to such a redevelopment plan or redevelopment project.
