The purpose of the TH-MF/SA I Zone is to create the opportunity
for the construction of inclusionary multifamily residential developments,
with a set-aside for housing units affordable to very-low, low- and
moderate-income households, which development would be permitted as
a matter of right on the sites included in this zone. Where the affordable
housing units will be rental units, the required set-aside rate shall
be at least 15% of all multifamily housing units built, and where
the affordable housing units will be for sale, the required set-aside
rate shall be at least 20% of all multifamily housing units built
(these units shall hereafter be referred to as "affordable units").
It is the intent of the zone plan that all TH-MF/SA I Zone development shall be designated and maintained as a private development. Subject to the provisions of N.J.S.A. 40:67-23.2, the developer shall comply with the provisions of Chapter
17, Land Development Review, §
17-16.8, Common open space, and §
17-16.9, On-tract and off-tract improvements and utilities. Maintenance of all internal roadways, sidewalks, curbs, drainage, landscaping, sewer lines, and lighting and the provision of other types of common space maintenance services, such as snow and ice removal, shall be provided by the owner or condominium association so as to maintain adequate, convenient and safe use of the project.
The developer shall provide an outdoor walking trail for use
of the residents within any residential development in the TH-MF/SA
I Zone. The location and design of the walking trail shall be reviewed
and approved by the municipal agency during site plan review. Walking
trails shall be designed, to the extent feasible, in a looped configuration,
without dead ends, and with at least 1,312 linear feet (400 meters)
of trail length. Walking trails may be incorporated into the structural
grass pavers used for emergency access drives. The developer may,
in addition, provide other appropriate active and/or passive outdoor
recreation areas and facilities. Handicap ramps shall be provided
for access to all such areas and facilities as needed. All active
recreation areas (except non-paved, pervious walking trails) shall
comply with perimeter property line setback and buffer requirements.
The Planning Board shall comply with the provisions of N.J.A.C.
5:93-10.1 regarding the expedited review of inclusionary residential
development applications.
