The purpose of this overlay zone is to create an additional
realistic opportunity for the construction of low- and moderate-income
housing in the Township of Little Falls utilizing single-family houses
and thereby to provide an additional means of addressing the unmet-need
portion of the fair share housing obligation of the Township of Little
Falls under the New Jersey Fair Housing Act.
This overlay zone includes the properties as identified by Block
237, Lots 30, 44, 52 and 59 as they appear on the Township's official
Tax Map.
In addition to the uses otherwise permitted on the property,
the following uses are permitted on a site located on one or more
contiguous lots with an aggregate area of at least six acres:
A. Single-family detached houses is constructed at a gross density no
greater than 3.57 units per acre, but totaling no more than 24 housing
units in the overlay zone.
B. Accessory uses customarily incidental to the above uses.
(1)
The term "accessory uses" shall not include a business or any
building or use not located on the same lot with the building to which
it is accessory.
(5)
Other customary accessory uses and buildings which are clearly
incidental to the principle use and building.
When payment in lieu of construction is selected by the developer,
the developer and/or property owner may develop all the residential
units permitted under this article as market-priced units and shall
deposit $35,000 into the Township's Mt. Laurel Housing Fund for each
low- and moderate-income housing unit otherwise required. Should a
fractional unit result from the computation of the number of low-
and moderate-income housing units required, the fraction shall not
be rounded off and the developer shall pay the full PIL fee, including
the prorated share for the fractional unit. The developer and/or property
owner may make the $35,000 PIL deposit separately for each four units
constructed, except that if fewer than four units remain to be constructed,
the final deposit shall be prorated. For each four units, the PIL
deposit shall be made in two payments, half at the time of the issuance
of the first building permit and half prior to the issuance of the
first certificate of occupancy.
This use may include one sign identifying the development plus
directional and official signs. The development sign shall be set
back at least five feet from all lot lines. The permitted total display
area of the development sign shall not exceed 18 square feet; the
maximum height shall not exceed eight feet; the maximum width of the
sign face shall be six feet. The development sign shall be of durable
construction and shall contain only the name of the development. If
illuminated, the illumination shall be nonflashing and provided by
a ground source.
