B. 
The acquisition of development rights which may be acquired from another site located within the Township, which units if not owned by the applicant shall only be added to the base density upon evidence of the acquisition of same. The agreement shall set forth the reduction on the sending site and the proportionate increase on the receiving site and shall be binding upon all parties both as to acquisition and reduction in density. The Township Committee shall incorporate a reference to the retirement of specific areas of land in the agreement.
C. 
The Township Committee and Joint Land Use Board may approve the inclusion of low- and moderate-income affordable housing units previously not planned for by the Township and not previously incorporated in its Housing Element and Affordable Housing Plan, in order to increase density based upon this provision. The proposal to provide affordable housing units must also be approved by either the New Jersey Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) or the court as an amendment to the Township's Housing Element and Fair Share Plan. Any increase in density to be based upon this section of this Part 2 shall be determined based upon the established guidelines by either COAH or the court and ratified by the Township. The precise location and distribution of the affordable housing units, if any, and the phasing to the development of same shall be subject to the review and approval of the Township Committee and Joint Land Use Board.
D. 
Transferred units shall be allocated to designated receiving districts within the Center. The actual construction of transferred units shall, however, only occur after a site plan and/or subdivision has been the subject of final approval for that section of the Center to which the units are to be transferred.

No transfer of previously approved units located within a Center shall be permitted to be made into any other designated receiving district.
