(a) Before markup by a Council committee, the Chief Financial Officer shall provide a tax abatement financial analysis ("TAFA") for a permanent bill that grants an exemption or abatement of a tax imposed by this title or by § 42-1103 , unless the exemption or abatement is one of general applicability.

(i) A list of the contributions, as that term is defined in [§ 1-1161.01(10)] , made, from the date of the bill's introduction to the date that the TAFA is provided to the Council, by the grantee and the principals of the grantee, to the following persons:
(I) The Mayor and any Councilmember;
(II) A candidate for Mayor or Councilmember;

(i) An estimate of the amount of exemption or abatement necessary to accomplish the purpose;
(ii) Efforts by the grantee to obtain alternate financing; and
(iii) Any factors that limit the ability of the grantee to obtain adequate financing; and
(F) A financial analysis prepared by the Office of the Chief Financial Officer, which shall consist of:
(i) For existing buildings, a review and analysis of the financial condition of the recipient of the proposed exemption or abatement and an advisory opinion stating whether or not it is likely that the recipient could be reasonably expected to meet its fiscal needs without the proposed exemption or abatement;
(ii) For new developments, a review and analysis of the financial condition of the recipient of the proposed exemption or abatement and of the financing proposal submitted by the recipient and an advisory opinion stating whether or not it is likely that the project could be financed without the proposed exemption or abatement;
(iii) For exemptions or abatements related to a person or group of persons that can be readily identified, a review and analysis of the financial condition of the recipient of the proposed exemption or abatement and an advisory opinion stating whether or not it is likely that the recipient could be reasonably expected to meet its fiscal needs without the proposed exemption or abatement. If individual financial information is not available, the requirements of this sub-subparagraph may be met through an advisory opinion on whether the proposed exemption or abatement can reasonably be expected to meet the proposed public policy goal[;and]
(iv) For exemptions or abatements related to a category or group of property owners or taxpayers that cannot be readily identified, a review and analysis of the public policy goal intended to be addressed, if applicable, by the exemption or abatement, including whether the exemption or abatement is appropriately targeted and likely to achieve the intended goal.

(i) The number of affordable housing units to be developed;
(ii) For what level of Area Median Income, as defined by § 47-858.01(1)(A)(i) , the units will be affordable;
