No moderate rental housing project shall be developed until (1) the housing authority or, in the case of a developer, the Commissioner of Housing has provided notice to the general public of the project by publication, in ten-point boldface type, of a description of the project in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipality in which the proposed project is to be located; (2) the Commissioner of Housing has approved the site, not less than thirty days after publication of the notice required under this section and after having given due consideration to any comments received from the public, the plans and layout and the estimated cost of development; and (3) the commissioner has approved the proposed methods of financing, the proposed rents and income limits for admission and continued occupancy and a detailed estimate of the expenses and revenues thereof. During the period of any grant or loan contract entered into under part I or III of this chapter or this part, the developer shall submit to the commissioner for his approval its rent schedules and its standards of tenant eligibility and continued occupancy, and any changes therein and its proposed budget for each fiscal year, together with such reports and financial and operating statements as the commissioner finds necessary. The commissioner may recommend the use of modern materials and methods of construction and factory-built houses in such projects, provided the use thereof would not be detrimental to the public health and safety, and may, in his discretion, withhold approval of the plans therefor if he believes that failure to use such methods or materials or factory-built houses would result in unnecessarily high costs. The commissioner is authorized to make and enforce reasonable orders and regulations and to determine the allocation of dwelling units to be constructed by an authority. The provisions of section 31-53 shall apply to housing projects constructed by an eligible developer under this part.
