In the case where dormitory-style sleeping quarters are provided, the total number of dwelling units shall be determined by the total authorized occupancy capacity of the facility divided by two.
D.
Estimated projected flows for nonresidential uses.
(1)
The projected flow criteria contained in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-23.3 shall be used to determine the estimated flows for nonresidential uses whenever practicable. In the event that a type of use is not listed in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-23.3, the Borough shall use its best judgment in determining estimated flow.
(2)
The following projected flow criteria are hereby adopted by the Borough as additions or exceptions to those contained in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-23.3:
Use | Unit of Measurement | GPD | |
|---|---|---|---|
Flex space | Per square foot | 0.030 | |
Convenience stores or convenience store/filling station combinations (no public toilet facilities) | Per square foot | 0.30 | |
Church (worship area only; other uses to be calculated separately) | Per building | 1 EDU |
(3)
For the purpose of this article, any reference to "seat" in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-23.3 shall be deemed to mean the maximum permitted occupancy established pursuant to the Uniform Construction Code and/or the Uniform Fire Code.
E.
Additional sewer capacity for nonresidential users. A nonresidential user shall be entitled to use the amount of sewer capacity, in gallons per day, that was originally obtained through the payment of connection fees. An application for additional capacity shall be made by any nonresidential user whenever there is an increase in the estimated flow of sewage from any existing building, facility or structure resulting from any physical or operational change for which a building permit, site plan, subdivision, variance or other municipal approval is required. A connection fee shall be charged to the user whenever the increase in estimated flow associated with the aforesaid physical or operational change requires the installation of a larger size, or additional connection to the sewer system, to be calculated in accordance with the then-current fees required for such new connections.
F.
Sewer connection fees to be charged to public housing authorities, to non-profit organizations building affordable housing projects, and to any other affordable housing, including affordable housing units in inclusionary projects shall be reduced by 50%, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:14B-22.3, and in addition:
(1)
For units previously connected to the Borough's sewerage system that were demolished or refurbished to allow for new affordable housing units, and for which a connection fee was previously paid, there shall be a credit to public housing authorities, to non-profit organizations building affordable housing projects, and to any other affordable housing, including affordable housing units in inclusionary, projects, for the amount of the connection fee(s) previously assessed and paid for the units previously connected to the Borough's system.
(2)
The connection fee assessable against a public housing authority, non-profit organization, or other affordable housing owner, for units previously connected to the Borough's system that were demolished or refurbished to allow for new affordable housing units, including affordable housing units in inclusionary projects, shall be the lesser of the 50% reduced rate provided for in this Subsection F, or the current non-reduced rate applicable to other types of housing developments minus the credit provided under Subsection F(1) for units for which a connection fee was previously paid, provided that said public housing authority, non-profit organization, or other affordable housing owner can establish the connection fee was previously assessed and paid for connection with the Borough's. If the same cannot be established, the 50% reduced rate provided for in this Subsection F shall be assessed.
