proposal approval;

    (b) Site information. An identification and description of the 

proposed site, site plan, neighborhood, and evidence of PHA control of 

the site for at least sixty (60) days after proposal submission.

    (c) Zoning. Evidence that construction or rehabilitation is 

permitted by current zoning ordinances or regulations or evidence to 

indicate that needed rezoning is likely and will not delay the project.

    (d) Development schedule. A copy of the PHA development schedule, 

including the PHA architect estimates of the time required to complete 

each major development stage.

    (e) Environmental assessment. All available environmental 

information on the proposed development (to expedite the HUD 

environmental review).

    (f) Appraisal. An appraisal of the proposed site by an independent, 

state-certified appraiser.
