  (2)  The governing body of a community shall not adopt a resolution or ordinance pursuant to subdivision (1) above unless it finds:

  (a)  That one or more blighted, or insanitary areas (as herein defined) exist in such community, and

  (b)  That the redevelopment of such area or areas is necessary in the interest of the public health, safety, morals or welfare of the residents of such community.
