If the proceedings are abandoned, then the public financing authority shall cease to exist by operation of this section with no further action required of the legislative body and the legislative body may not enact a resolution of intention to establish a district that includes the same geographic area within one year of the date of the resolution abandoning the proceedings.
(2) In the case of an infrastructure financing plan adopted pursuant to Section 53398.75.7, the proceedings set forth in subdivision (e) of that section shall govern the adoption of the infrastructure financing plan.
(b) The infrastructure financing plan shall take effect upon the adoption of the resolution. The infrastructure financing plan shall specify if the district shall be funded solely through the district’s share of tax increment, governmental or private loans, grants, bonds, assessments, fees, or some combination thereof. However, the public financing authority shall not issue bonds or levy assessments or fees that may be included in the infrastructure financing plan before one or more of the following:
(1) The adoption of a resolution meeting the requirements of Section 53398.77, and, if applicable, subdivision (c) of Section 53398.78, to issue bonds to finance the infrastructure financing plan.
(2) Compliance with the procedures required in subdivision (f) of Section 53398.75, to levy assessments or fees to finance the infrastructure financing plan.
