    (e) Complete application. No additional documents pertaining to the Basic or Additional Threshold Requirements or scoring categories shall be accepted after the application-filing deadline unless the Executive Director, at his or her sole discretion, determines that the deficiency is a clear reproduction or application assembly error, or an obviously transposed number. In such cases, applicants shall be given up to five (5) business days from the date of receipt of staff notification, to submit said documents to complete the application. For threshold omissions other than reproduction or assembly errors, the Executive Director may request additional clarifying information from third party sources, such as local government entities, but this is entirely at The Executive Director's discretion.

A nominal cost will not be accepted, and costs shall be evidenced by sales agreements, purchase contracts, or appraisals. Tribal trust land is excluded from this requirement. However, existing improvement values must be supported by an appraisal pursuant to this section.
    (10) Market Studies. A full market study prepared within 180 days of the filing deadline by an independent 3rd party having no identity of interest with the development's partners, intended partners, or any other member of the Development Team described in Subsection (5) above. The study must meet the current market study guidelines distributed by the Committee, and establish both need and demand for the proposed project. CTCAC shall publicly notice any changes to its market study guidelines and shall take public comment consistent with the comment period and hearing provisions of Health and Safety Code Section 50199.17.
    A market study shall be updated when either proposed subiect project rents change by more than five percent (5%), or the distribution of higher rents increases by more than 5%, or 180 days have passed since the first site inspection date of the subject property and comparable properties. CTCAC shall not accept an updated market study when more than twelve (12) months have passed since the earliest listed site inspection date of either the subject property or any comparable property. In such cases, applicants shall provide a new market study. If the market study does not meet the guidelines or support sufficient need and demand for the project, the application may be considered ineligible to receive Tax Credits. Except where a waiver is obtained from the Executive Director in advance of a submitted application, CTCAC shall not reserve credits for a rural new construction application if a tax credit or other publicly-assisted new construction project housing the same population either (a) already has a tax credit reservation from CTCAC, or (b) is currently under construction within the same market area. The Executive Director may grant a waiver for subsequent phases of a single project, where newly constructed housing would be replacing specific existing housing, or where extraordinary demand warrants an exception to the prohibition.
    (11) Construction and design description. A detailed narrative description of the proposed project construction and design, including how the design will serve the targeted population.
    (12) Architectural drawings. Preliminary drawings of the proposed project, including a site plan, building elevations, and unit floor plans (including square footage of each unit).

    (18) Use of tax benefits description. If the Tax Credits are not to be offered to investors, a detailed explanation of how the tax benefits will be used by the applicant.
    (19) Terms of syndication agreement. Written estimate(s) from syndicator(s) or financial consultants on their corporate letterhead and in the prescribed CTCAC format, of equity dollars expected to be raised for the proposed project, based on the amount of Tax Credits requested, including gross and net proceeds, pay-in schedules, syndication costs (including syndicator consulting fees), and an estimated net tax Credit factor, for both Federal and State Tax Credits if both are to be used or if State Tax Credits exchange points are requested. The syndicator shall not pay any fees or provide any other financial or other substantive benefit to a partnership developer unless all such fees or benefits are fully and completely disclosed to CTCAC in the Executed Letter of Intent.
    (20) Tax Credit certification. If the Tax Credits are not to be syndicated, a letter from a third party certified public accountant establishing the Tax Credit actor.
    (21) Utility allowance estimates. Current utility allowance estimates consistent with 26 CFR Section 1.42-10. For buildings that are using an energy consumption model utility allowance estimate, the estimate shall be calculated using the most recent version of the California Utility Allowance Calculator (CUAC) developed by the California Energy Commission. The CUAC estimate shall be signed by a California Association of Building Energy Consultants (CABEC) Certified Energy Plans Examiner (CEPE) who is also either a California licensed Mechanical or Electrical Engineer, or a certified Home Energy Rating System (HERS) rater. Measures that are used in the CUAC that require field verification shall be verified by a certified HERS Rater, in accordance with current HERS regulations. The applicant must indicate which components of the utility allowance schedule apply to the project.
    (21) Certification of subsidies. The applicant must certify as to the full extent of all Federal, State, and local subsidies which apply (or for which the taxpayer expects to apply) with respect to the proposed project. (IRC Section 42(m)(2)(C)(ii)) If rental assistance, operating subsidies or annuities are proposed, all related commitments that secure such funds must be provided. The source, annual amount, term, number of units receiving assistance, and expiration date of each subsidy must be included.
    (23) Cash flow projection. A 15-year projection of project cash flow. Separate cash flow projections shall be provided for residential and commercial space.

The Capital Needs Assessment will also include a 15-year reserve study, indicating anticipated dates and costs of future replacements of all major building components that are not being replaced immediately, and the reserve contributions needed to fund those replacements. The CNA must be prepared by the project architect, as long as the project architect has no identity of interest with the developer, or a sponsor, or by a qualified independent 3rd party who has no identity of interest with any of the members of the Development Team. If a waiver of any requirement of the minimum construction standards delineated in section 10325(f)(7) and section 10326(g)(6) is requested, the assessment must show to the satisfaction of the Executive Director, that meeting the requirement is unnecessary and financially burdensome, and that the money to be spent in rehabilitating other project features will result in a better end product.

    (28) Tenant relocation plan. Applicants proposing rehabilitation or demolition of occupied housing shall provide an explanation of the relocation requirements, and a detailed relocation plan including a budget with an identified funding source.

Where applicable, the applicant shall provide evidence that the relocation plan is consistent with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policy Act and has been submitted to the appropriate local agency.
    (29) Owner-occupied Housing application. Applicants proposing owner-occupied housing projects of four units or less, involving acquisition or rehabilitation, shall provide evidence from an appropriate official substantiating that the building is part of a development plan of action sponsored by a State or local government or a qualified nonprofit organization (IRC Section 42(i)(3)(E)).

    (33) HOME funds match. Applicants requesting State Tax Credits to match HOME funds shall provide a letter from the local jurisdiction stating why local matching funds are not being provided.
    (i) Placed-in-service application. Within one year of completing construction of the proposed project, the applicant shall submit documentation including an executed regulatory agreement provided by CTCAC and the compliance monitoring fee required by Section 10335. CTCAC shall determine if all conditions of the reservation have been met. Changes subsequent to the initial application, particularly changes to the financing plan and costs or changes to the services amenities, must be explained by the applicant in detail. If all conditions have been met, tax forms will be issued, reflecting an amount of Tax Credits not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by these regulations. The following must be submitted:
    (1) certificates of occupancy for each building in the project (or a certificate of completion for rehabilitation projects). If acquisition Tax Credits are requested, evidence of the placed-in-service date for acquisition purposes, and evidence that all rehabilitation is completed;
    (2) an audited certification, prepared by an independent Certified Public Accountant under generally accepted auditing standards, with all disclosures and notes. The Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or accounting firm shall not have acted in a manner that would impair independence as established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Code of Professional Conduct Section 101 and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations 17 CFR Parts 210 and 240. Examples of such impairing services, when performed for the final cost certification client, include bookkeeping or other services relating to the accounting records, financial information systems design and implementation, appraisal or evaluation services, actuarial services, internal audit outsourcing services, management functions or human resources, investment advisor, banking services, legal services, or expert services unrelated to the audit. Both the referenced SEC and AICPA rules shall apply to all public and private CPA firms providing the final audited cost certification. In order to perform audits of final cost certifications, the auditor must have a peer review of its accounting and auditing practice once every three years consistent with the AICPA Peer Review Program as required by the California Board of Accountancy for California licensed public accounting firms (including proprietors); and make the peer review report publicly available and submit a copy to CTCAC along with the final cost certification. If a peer review reflects systems deficiencies, CTCAC may require another CPA provide the final cost certification. This certification shall:
    (A) reflect all costs, in conformance with 26 CFR § 1.42-17, expenditures and funds used for the project, as identified by the certified public accountant, up to the funding of the permanent loan. Projects developed with general contractors who are Related Parties to the developer must be audited to the subcontractor level;
    (B) include a CTCAC provided Sources and Uses form reflecting actual total costs incurred up to the funding of the permanent loan; and
    (C) certify that the CPA has not performed any services, as defined by AICPA and SEC rules, that would impair independence;
    (3) an itemized breakdown of placed-in-service dates, shown separately for each building, on a Committee-provided form. If the placed-in service date(s) denoted are different from the date(s) on the certificate(s) of occupancy, a detailed explanation is required;
    (4) photographs of the completed building(s);
    (5) a request for issuance of IRS Form(s) 8609 and/or FTB Form(s) 3521A;
    (6) a certification from the syndicator of equity raised and syndication costs in a Committee-provided format;
    (7) a project ownership profile on a Committee-provided form;
    (8) a sponsor-signed certification documenting the services currently being provided to the residents, including identifying service provider(s), describing services provided, stating services dollar value, and stating services funding source(s) (cash or in-kind), with attached copies of contracts and MOUs for services;
    (9) a copy of any cost certification submitted to, required by and/or and approved by RHS or any other lender;
    (10) a list of all amenities provided at the project site, and color photographs of the amenities. If the list differs from that submitted at application, an explanation must be provided. In addition, the sponsor must provide a list of any project amenities not included in basis for which the property owner intends to charge an optional fee to residents;
    (11) a description of any charges that may be paid by tenants in addition to rent, with an explanation of how such charges affect eligible basis;
    (12) if applicable, a certification from a third party tax professional stating the percentage of aggregate basis (including land) financed by tax exempt bonds for projects that received Tax Credits under the provisions of Section 10326 of these regulations;
    (13) all documentation required pursuant to the Compliance and Verification requirements of Sections 10325(f)(7) and 10326(g)(6);
    (14) all documentation required pursuant to the Compliance and Verification requirements of Sections 10327(c)(5)(B);
    (15) if seeking a reduction in the operating expenses used in the Committee's final underwriting pursuant to Section 10327(g)(1) of these regulations, the final operating expenses used by the lender and equity investor;
    (16) a certification from the project architect or, in the case of rehabilitation projects, from an architect retained for the purpose of this certification, that the physical buildings are in compliance with all applicable building codes and applicable fair housing laws. In the case of rehabilitation projects proceeding without an architect, the entity performing the Capital Needs Assessment shall note necessary fair housing improvements, and the applicant shall budget for and implement the related construction work;
    (17) all documentation required pursuant to the Compliance and Verification requirements of Sections 10325(c)(6), if applicable;
    (18) a current utility allowance estimate as required by 26 CFR Section 1.42-10(c) and Section 10322(h)(21) of these regulations. Measures that are used in the CUAC that require field verification shall be verified by a certified HERS rater, in accordance with current HERS regulations; and
    (19) for tribal trust land, the lease agreement between the Tribe and the project owner.
    The Executive Director may waive any of the above submission requirements if not applicable to the proposed project.
    (j) Re-application. Proposals submitted under Section 10326 of these regulations do not require new applications for minor changes in costs or Tax Credits alone. Committee staff will normally adjust the Credit amount for projects requesting Tax Credit increases under Section 10326 only at one time, when the placed-in-service package is received and reviewed by Committee staff. However, reapplication is required and applications will be reviewed if the Executive Director deems it necessary to have the Committee take formal action due to substantial changes or an extraordinary increase in Tax Credits requested. “Substantial changes” for this purpose will mean any significant change in unit mix, number of buildings or building layout, or development cost increases greater than 20% of the original costs, and an “extraordinary increase” in Tax Credits will mean an increase greater than 15% of the original reservation amount. It is the applicant's responsibility to notify CTCAC of any such changes and when CTCAC is notified accordingly, new applications may be required. Reapplications at placed-in-service that are requesting additional Tax Credits will be required to submit a fee equal to one percent (1%) of the first year's credit amount. For all other projects, except in unusual, extreme cases such as fire, or act of God, where a waiver of this subsection is permitted by the Executive Director, a re-application for a development that has already received a Tax Credit reservation or allocation shall be evaluated as an entirely new application, and shall be required to return its previously reserved or allocated Tax Credits prior to or simultaneously with its new application. All re-applications shall be subject to negative points under Section 10325(c)(3) if applicable (for example, a project that does not meet the original placed-in-service deadline would receive negative points hereunder). Re-applications shall be subject to the regulations in effect at the time the re-application is submitted. For projects submitted under Section 10326 of these regulations that are requesting additional Tax Credits, the basis limits to be used in the final underwriting shall be those in effect during the year the development is placed-in-service.
    (k) Unless the proposed project is a Single Room Occupancy development, a Special Needs development, or within ten (10) years of an expiring tax credit regulatory agreement, applicants for nine percent (9%) Low Income Housing Tax Credits to acquire and/or rehabilitate existing tax credit properties still regulated by an extended use agreement shall:
    (1) certify that the property sales price is no more than the current debt balance secured by the property, and
    (2) be prohibited from receiving any tax credits derived from acquisition basis.
