(a) Each municipality whose zoning commission has received a final determination of eligibility and has adopted an approved incentive housing zone shall annually, in accordance with procedures established by the Commissioner of Housing, apply to the commissioner for an incentive housing zone certificate of compliance. To receive a certificate, the municipality shall verify within the time specified by the commissioner that:
(1) The zoning commission of the municipality has not amended or repealed any portion of the regulations or design standards in the incentive housing zone without approval of the commissioner as required by sections 8-13o and 8-13q;
(2) The approval of the incentive housing zone has not been revoked by the commissioner;
(3) The municipality is making reasonable efforts to assist and promote approval of incentive housing development and construction of housing within the approved zone or zones; and
(4) The zoning commission has not unreasonably denied any application for site plan or subdivision approval, or other necessary coordinating permits or approvals, and has only denied applications in a manner consistent with the provisions of section 8-13t.
(b) If the information required pursuant to subsection (a) of this section has been submitted by a municipality in a timely manner, and the commissioner makes a determination that the municipality has met the requirements of sections 8-13m to 8-13x, inclusive, the commissioner shall issue compliance certificates by October first annually. If the commissioner determines that the municipality is in material noncompliance with the requirements of sections 8-13m to 8-13x, inclusive, the commissioner, after notice and hearing pursuant to chapter 54, 1 may revoke certification. Any revocation of certification, or other sanctions imposed by the commissioner under section 8-13v, shall not affect the validity of the incentive housing zone regulations or the application of such regulations to a pending or approved development application within the incentive housing zone, but shall render the municipality ineligible for financial incentive payments set forth in section 8-13s.
