Conn. Gen. Stat. § 8-13gg: Letters of eligibility re priority housing development zones.

(a) Any municipality that has adopted a priority housing development zone consistent with this section and sections 8-13ee and 8-13ff may request a final letter of eligibility from the commissioner.

(b) The commissioner may issue a preliminary letter of eligibility upon a municipality's request, provided such municipality has submitted proposed modifications to the municipality's zoning regulations that would allow it to create a priority housing development zone. The commissioner may issue a final letter of eligibility when a municipality has implemented such proposed modifications and is in compliance with the requirements of a priority housing development zone set forth in this section and sections 8-13ee and 8-13ff.

(c) The commissioner shall review such requests not later than ninety days after receipt of such a request. The commissioner may approve, reject or request modifications concerning a priority housing development zone consistent with the requirements of this section and sections 8-13ee and 8-13ff.

(d) If a municipality modifies a priority housing development zone or a new historic district is created within or overlapping such zone after application for or receipt of a letter of eligibility, the municipality, not later than seven days after such modification, shall notify the commissioner of such modification, and the commissioner may deny or rescind such letter of eligibility, as applicable, if the commissioner determines that such modifications do not comply with the requirements of this section and sections 8-13ee and 8-13ff.

(e) If after one year following the date on which a municipality received a final letter of eligibility from the commissioner, the commissioner determines, in the commissioner's discretion, that, considering market conditions in the municipality and the state, there exists a lack of building permits or other indications of progress toward construction of dwelling units in the zone, the commissioner may rescind such final letter of eligibility.

(f) If any letter of eligibility is rescinded pursuant to this section, the commissioner shall also rescind any current certificate of affordable housing completion awarded to the municipality pursuant to subparagraph (B) of subdivision (4) of subsection (l) of section 8-30g.
