by HUD.
B. A minimum of 75% of the dwelling units in an AHD development shall
be reserved for individuals and families meeting the maximum household
income requirements of the applicable government program that qualifies
the AHD development as assisted housing.
C. In determining whether an applicant for an affordable unit meets
the qualifying criteria, the factors and methods of calculations stated
in federal regulations in determining household income shall be used.
No application for a temporary special use shall be necessary provided that all earth materials removal and filling associated with the construction of an approved AHD development shall conform to the requirements of §
