Research notes
State framework overlay — not a direct zoning preemption. Captured so city profiles with `has_redevelopment_commission=true` and parcels in `in_tif_allocation_area=true` are flagged for downstream tax/financial underwriting. Marion County (Indianapolis-Unigov) uses the parallel IC 36-7-15.1 chapter — see IN_36_7_15_1_MARION_REDEVELOPMENT.
