(b) A person or organization directly affected by the relocation plan may petition the Department of Housing and Community Development (“Department”) to review the final relocation plan of the City to determine if the plan is in compliance with state laws and guidelines or review the implementation of a relocation plan to determine if the City is acting in compliance with its relocation plan.
