audit to determine compliance with the affordable housing
requirements of Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 62100) and Chapter
2 (commencing with Section 62115) of Part 2, including provisions to
ensure that the requirements are met within each five-year period
covered by the audit and completed no later than the time limit

achieve compliance with those provisions as soon as feasible, but in
not less than two years following the audit findings. The Controller
shall review and approve the compliance plan, and require the
compliance plan to stay in effect until compliance is achieved. The
