(2) the undeveloped vacant land will be developed for predominantly residential uses; and
(3) the provisions of dwelling accommodations on the undeveloped vacant land is necessary to accomplish the relocation in decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the municipality, of families to be displaced from slum or blighted areas that are to be redeveloped.
