'The HAC frames t.his care as present.ing the<br />
question of whet.he:r "oversiyht" nf regulatory aspccts<br />
of the comprehensive permiL proccss "may he 1.aken on<br />
by a local board ui appeals ox whethcr it. is murc<br />
app.ropri.ately left in the hands of state housing<br />
agencies . " RA Vol.1, 458. Such reyulatory aspecls<br />
identiiied by the HAC include affordabi1it.y<br />

marketiny; cal culaLion of profit lirnj-tati on; and<br />
sel.flctioi1 of projcct monitorinq aqent. RA Vol. 1, 458.<br />
Ttic HAC opines t.hat "under the statutory scheme,<br />
[such functiuris] havc been reserved Lor state<br />
government," and on lhat hasis stri.kes most. of t.he<br />
conditions imposed by the Board to which Attitash has<br />
objected. In particular, the HAC strikes condiLions<br />
it. found to be "in conflict or inronsj st.ent with t.he<br />
core proqr;lnunati.c approach" of <strong>Mass</strong>liousing, the<br />
"oversiyh.C" agency and possible fundiny source of this<br />
project. RA Vol.1, 463.<br />
The HAC'S errail axe-wielding is based on its<br />
belj ef in agreement with DHCD - that the Board in<br />
this case "exceeded it.5 aiithority under G.L. c. 400<br />
that the permit conditions render the project<br />
"uneconomic." Set? 760 CMR 31 .06(7).<br />
