A.
Purpose.
(1)
In Holmdel Builder's Ass'n v. Holmdel Township, 121 N.J. 550 (1990),
the New Jersey Supreme Court determined that mandatory development
fees are authorized by the Fair Housing Act of 1985, N.J.S.A. 52:27D-301
et seq., and the State Constitution, subject to the Council On Affordable
Housing's (COAH) adoption of rules.
(2)
Pursuant to P.L. 2008, c. 46, Section 8 (N.J.S.A. 52:27D-329.2) and
the Statewide Nonresidential Development Fee Act (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-8.1
through 8.7), COAH is authorized to adopt and promulgate regulations
necessary for the establishment, implementation, review, monitoring
and enforcement of municipal affordable housing trust funds and corresponding
spending plans. Municipalities that are under the jurisdiction of
the Council or court of competent jurisdiction and have a COAH approved
spending plan may retain fees collected from nonresidential development.
(3)
This section establishes standards for the collection, maintenance
and expenditure of development fees pursuant to COAH's rules and in
accordance P.L. 2008, c. 46, Sections 8 and 32 through 38. Fees collected
pursuant to this ordinance shall be used for the sole purpose of providing
very low-, low- and moderate-income housing. This ordinance shall
be interpreted within the framework of COAH's rules on development
fees, codified at N.J.A.C. 5:93-8.[2]
[2]
Editor's Note: The provisions of N.J.A.C. 5:93 expired 10-016-2016.

DEVELOPMENT FEE
EQUALIZED ASSESSED VALUE
GREEN BUILDING STRATEGIES
Definitions. The following terms, as used in this section, shall
have the following meanings:
Money paid by a developer for the improvement of property
as permitted by applicable COAH regulations.
The assessed value of a property divided by the current average
ratio of assessed to true value for the Municipality in which the
property is situated, as determined in accordance with Sections 1,
5, and 6 of P.L. 1973, c. 123 (N.J.S.A. 54:1-35a through 54:1-35c).
Those strategies that minimize the impact of development
on the environment, and enhance the health, safety and well-being
of residents by producing durable, low-maintenance, resource-efficient
housing while making optimum use of existing infrastructure and community
services.
D.
Residential development fees.
(1)
Imposition of fees.
(a)
Within the Borough of Glen Rock, all residential developers,
except for developers of the types of development specifically exempted
below, shall pay a fee of 1.5% of the equalized assessed value for
residential development provided no increased density is permitted.
Development fees shall also be imposed and collected when an additional
dwelling unit is added to an existing residential structure; in such
cases, the fee shall be calculated based on the increase in the equalized
assessed value of the property due to the additional dwelling unit.
(b)
When an increase in residential density pursuant to a "d" variance
is granted under N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70d(5) (known as a "d" variance),
developers shall be required to pay a "bonus" development fee of 6%
of the equalized assessed value for each additional unit that may
be realized, except that this provision shall not be applicable to
a development that will include affordable housing. If the zoning
on a site has changed during the two-year period preceding the filing
of such a variance application, the base density for the purposes
of calculating the bonus development fee shall be the highest density
permitted by right during the two-year period preceding filing of
the "d" variance application. Example: If an approval allows four
units to be constructed on a site that was zoned for two units, the
development fees will equal 1 1/2% of the equalized assessed
value on the first two units; and 6% of the equalized assessed value
for the two non-age-restricted additional units, provided zoning on
the site has not changed during the two-year period preceding the
filing of such a variance application.
[1]
Eligible exactions, ineligible exactions and exemptions for
residential development.
[a]
Affordable housing developments and developments
where the developer is providing for the construction of affordable
units elsewhere in the Borough, if permitted by ordinance or by agreement
with the Borough of Glen Rock, shall be exempt from development fees.
[b]
Developments that have received preliminary or
final site plan approval prior to the adoption of the first development
fee ordinance shall be exempt from development fees, unless the developer
seeks a substantial change in the approval. Where a site plan approval
is not applicable, the issuance of a zoning and/or building permit
shall be synonymous with preliminary or final site plan approval for
the purpose of determining the right to exemption. In all cases, the
applicable fee percentage shall be determined based upon the development
fee ordinance in effect on the date that building permit is issued.
[c]
In addition to the construction of new principal
and/or accessory buildings, development fees shall be imposed and
collected when an existing structure is demolished and replaced, if
the expansion is not otherwise exempt from the development fee requirement.
The development fee shall be calculated on the increase in the equalized
assessed value of the new structure. Furthermore:
[i]
No development fee shall be collected for a demolition and replacement
of a residential building resulting from a natural disaster.
[ii]
No development fee shall be collected for the construction of
an "accessory structure" which is not a "building" as these terms
are defined in the 1978 Zoning Ordinance of the Borough of Glen Rock.
[iii]
Additions and alterations to existing detached
single-family dwellings are exempt from the payment of a development
fee.
[iv]
Additions and alterations to existing detached two-family dwellings
are exempt from the payment of a development fee.
[d]
Nonprofit organizations which have received tax-exempt
status pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code,
providing current evidence of that status is submitted to the Municipal
Clerk, together with a certification that services of the organization
are provided at reduced rates to those who establish an inability
to pay existing charges, shall be exempted from paying a development
fee.
[e]
Federal, state, county, and local governments shall
be exempted from paying a development fee.
E.
Nonresidential development fees.
(1)
Imposition of fees.
(a)
Within all zoning districts, nonresidential developers, except
for developers of the types of development specifically exempted below,
shall pay a fee equal to 2 1/2% (2.5%) of the increase in equalized
assessed value of the land and improvements, for all new nonresidential
construction on an unimproved lot or lots.
(b)
Within all zoning districts, nonresidential developers, except
for developers of the types of development specifically exempted,
shall also pay a fee equal to 2 1/2% (2.5%) of the increase in equalized
assessed value resulting from any additions to existing structures
to be used for nonresidential purposes.
(c)
Eligible exactions, ineligible exactions and exemptions for
nonresidential development:
[1]
The nonresidential portion of a mixed-use inclusionary or market
rate development shall be subject to the 2 1/2% (2.5%) development
fee, unless otherwise exempted below.
[2]
The 2 1/2% (2.5%) fee shall not apply to an increase in equalized
assessed value resulting from alterations, change in use within existing
footprint, reconstruction, renovations and repairs.
[3]
Nonresidential projects that have received a certificate of
occupancy or general development plan approval or have entered into
a developer's agreement or a redevelopment agreement, all prior to
July 17, 2008 (the effective date of P.L. 2008, c. 46), shall be exempt
from the payment of nonresidential development fees, provided that
an affordable housing fee of at least 1% of the equalized assessed
value of the improvements is included in the development plan, developer's
agreement or redevelopment agreement.
[4]
Nonresidential developments shall be exempt from the payment
of nonresidential development fees in accordance with the exemptions
required as specified in the Form N-RDF "State of New Jersey Nonresidential
Development Certification/Exemption." Any exemption claimed by a developer
shall be substantiated by that developer.
[5]
A developer of a nonresidential development exempted from the
nonresidential Borough development fee shall be subject to the fee
at such time the basis for the exemption no longer applies and shall
make the payment of the nonresidential development fee, in that event,
within three years after that event or after the issuance of the final
certificate of occupancy of the nonresidential development, whichever
is later.
[6]
If a property which was exempted from the collection of a nonresidential
development fee thereafter ceases to be exempt from property taxation,
the owner of the property shall remit the fees required pursuant to
this section within 45 days of the termination of the property tax
exemption. Unpaid nonresidential development fees under these circumstances
may be enforceable by the Borough of Glen Rock as a lien against the
real property of the owner.

(f)
Within 10 business days of a request for the scheduling of a
final inspection, the Borough Tax Assessor shall confirm or modify
the previously estimated equalized assessed value of the improvements
of the development; calculate the development fee; and thereafter
notify the developer of the amount of the fee.
(g)
Should the Borough fail to determine or notify the developer
of the amount of the development fee within 10 business days of the
request for final inspection, the developer may estimate the amount
due and pay that estimated amount consistent with the dispute process
set forth in Subsection b. of Section 37 of P.L. 2008, c. 46 (N.J.S.A.
40:55D-8.6).
(h)
Fifty percent of the initially calculated development fee shall
be collected at the time of the issuance of the building permit. The
remaining portion shall be tendered to the Borough of Glen Rock at

shall be responsible for paying any difference between the fee calculated
at the issuance of the building permit and the fee determined at issuance
of certificate of occupancy.
(i)
Upon tender of the remaining development fee, provided the developer
is in full compliance with all other applicable laws and regulations,
the Borough shall issue a final certificate of occupancy for the subject
property.
(j)
Regardless of the time of collection of the development fee,
the fee shall be based upon the percentage that applies on the date
that the construction permit is issued.
(k)
The Construction Code Official shall forward all collected development
fees to the Borough of Glen Rock's Chief Financial Officer who shall
deposit such fees into the established "Housing Trust Fund."
G.

(1)
A developer may challenge residential development fees imposed due
to a disagreement as to the equalized assessed value of the property
by filing a challenge with the Bergen County Board of Taxation. Such
a challenge must be made within 45 days from the issuance of the certificate
of occupancy. Pending a review and determination by the Board, collected
fees shall be placed in an interest-bearing escrow account established
