A.
This chapter of the Borough Code sets forth regulations regarding
the low- and moderate-income housing units in the Borough consistent
with the Borough's constitutional obligation to provide a realistic
opportunity for the construction of its fair share of the regional
need for affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households,
the provisions known as the Substantive Rules of the New Jersey Council
on Affordable Housing ("COAH rules"), N.J.A.C. 5:93 et seq.,[1] and the Uniform Housing Affordability Controls ("UHAC"),
N.J.A.C. 5:80-26.1 et seq., except that the requirements for very-low-income
affordable housing as established in P.L. 2008, c. 46 (the "Roberts
Bill," codified at N.J.S.A. 52:27D-329.1) shall supersede those of
the UHAC.

B.
This chapter is intended to assure that very-low, low- and moderate-income
units ("affordable units") are created with deed restrictions which
preserve affordability over time and that very-low-, low- and moderate-income
households shall occupy these units. This chapter shall apply to all
inclusionary developments and 100% affordable developments (including
those funded with low-income housing tax credit financing) except
where inconsistent with applicable law.

seq. ("Fair Share Plan"), in accordance with the settlement agreement
entered into between the Borough and the Fair Share Housing Center
("FSHC") on December 22, 2017. The Fair Share Plan describes the magnitude
of the Borough's fair share obligation, as determined by the Superior
Court, and the ways the Borough intends to address its fair share
obligation.

On or about each anniversary of the Court's filing of the Judgement
of Compliance and Repose through the end of the period of Third Round
Judgment of Repose (July 1, 2025), the Borough will provide annual
reporting of the status of all affordable housing activity within
the municipality through posting on the municipal website with a copy
of such posting provided to all parties to the Borough's Court-approved
settlement agreements, using forms previously developed for this purpose
by the Council on Affordable Housing or any other forms endorsed by
the Special Master and FSHC.
G.
The Fair Housing Act includes two provisions regarding action to
be taken by the Borough during the ten-year period of protection provided
in the Borough's agreement with FSHC. The Borough agrees to comply
with those provisions as follows:
(1)
By July 6, 2020, the Borough must prepare a midpoint realistic opportunity
review, as required pursuant to N.J.S.A. 52:27D-313, which the Borough
will post on its municipal website, with a copy provided to FSHC,
a status report as to its implementation of its plan and an analysis
of whether any unbuilt sites or unfulfilled mechanisms continue to
present a realistic opportunity. Such posting shall invite any interested
party to submit comments to the municipality, with a copy to FSHC,
regarding whether any sites no longer present a realistic opportunity
and should be replaced and whether any mechanisms to meet unmet need
should be revised or supplemented. Any interested party may by motion
request a hearing before the Court regarding these issues. In the
event the Court determines that a site or mechanism no longer presents
a realistic opportunity and should be replaced or supplemented, then
the municipality shall have the first opportunity to supplement or
revise its plan to correct any deficiency.
(2)
Within 30 days of the third and sixth anniversary of the Judgement
of Compliance and Repose, the Borough shall prepare a review of compliance
with the very-low-income housing requirements required by N.J.S.A.

Center. The Borough will post on its municipal website, with a copy
provided to FSHC, a status report as to its satisfaction of its very-low-income
requirements, including the family very-low-income requirements referenced
herein and in the Borough's settlement agreement with FSHC. Such posting

construction. The payment shall be imposed as a condition of development
approval by the Planning Board.
(a)
During the development approval process, a developer may demonstrate to the governing body that the actual construction cost of an affordable unit less estimated capitalized revenue at the development in question is lower than the imposed payment in lieu in § 86-3C(1).

Within rental developments, of the total number of affordable
rental units, at least 13% shall be affordable to very-low-income
households.
(2)
In each affordable development, at least 50% of the restricted units
within each bedroom distribution shall be low-income units.
(3)
Affordable developments that are not age-restricted shall be structured
such that:
(a)
The combined number of efficiency and one-bedroom units shall

5:23-7, or evidence that the Borough has collected funds from the
developer sufficient to make 10% of the adaptable entrances in the
development accessible.
[1]
Where a unit has been constructed with an adaptable entrance,
upon the request of a disabled person who is purchasing or will reside
in the dwelling unit, an accessible entrance shall be installed.
[2]
To this end, the builder of restricted units shall deposit funds
within the Borough of Highland Park's affordable housing trust fund
sufficient to install accessible entrances in 10% of the affordable
units that have been constructed with adaptable entrances.
[3]
The funds deposited under Subsection F(2)(f)[2] herein shall be used by the Borough for the sole purpose of making the adaptable entrance of any affordable unit accessible when requested to do so by a person with a disability who occupies or intends to occupy the unit and requires an accessible entrance.

The initial purchase price for all restricted ownership units shall
be calculated so that the monthly carrying cost of the unit, including
principal and interest (based on a mortgage loan equal to 95% of the
purchase price and the Federal Reserve H.15 rate of interest), taxes,
homeowner and private mortgage insurance and condominium or homeowner
association fees do not exceed 28% of the eligible monthly income
of the appropriate size household as determined under N.J.A.C. 5:80-26.4,
as may be amended and supplemented; provided, however, that the price
shall be subject to the affordability average requirement of N.J.A.C.
5:80-26.3, as may be amended and supplemented.
(8)
The initial rent for a restricted rental unit shall be calculated
so as not to exceed 30% of the eligible monthly income of the appropriate
household size as determined under N.J.A.C. 5:80-26.4, as may be amended
and supplemented; provided, however, that the rent shall be subject
to the affordability average requirement of N.J.A.C. 5:80-26.3, as
may be amended and supplemented.
(9)
The price of owner-occupied low- and moderate-income units may increase
annually based on the percentage increase in the regional median income
limit for each housing region. In no event shall the maximum resale
price established by the administrative agent be lower than the last
recorded purchase price.
Income limits for all units for which income limits are not
already established through a federal program exempted from the Uniform
Housing Affordability Controls pursuant to N.J.A.C. 5:80-26.1 et seq.
shall be updated by the Borough annually within 30 days of the publication
of determinations of median income by HUD as follows:
(a)
Regional income limits shall be established for the Region 3
based on the median income by household size, which shall be established
by a regional weighted average of the uncapped Section 8 income limits
published by HUD. To compute this regional income limit, the HUD determination
of median county income for a family of four is multiplied by the
estimated households within the county according to the most recent
decennial Census. The resulting product for each county within the
housing region is summed. The sum is divided by the estimated total
households from the most recent decennial census in Region 3. This
quotient represents the regional weighted average of median income
for a household of four. The income limit for a moderate-income unit
for a household of four shall be 80% of the regional weighted average
median income for a family of four. The income limit for a low-income
unit for a household of four shall be 50% of the HUD determination
of the regional weighted average median income for a family of four.
The income limit for a very-low-income unit for a household of four
shall be 30% of the regional weighted average median income for a
family of four. These income limits shall be adjusted by household
size based on multipliers used by HUD to adjust median income by household
size. In no event shall the income limits be less than those for the
previous year.
(b)
The income limits calculated each year shall be the result of applying the percentages set forth in Subsection G(9)(a) above to HUD's determination of median income for the relevant fiscal year, and shall be utilized until the Borough updates the income limits after HUD has published revised determinations of median income for the next fiscal year.
(c)
The regional asset limit used in determining an applicant's eligibility for affordable housing pursuant to N.J.A.C. 5:80-26.16(b)3 shall be calculated by the Borough annually by taking the percentage increase of the income limits calculated pursuant to Subsection G(9)(a) above over the previous year's income limits, and applying the same percentage increase to the regional asset limit from the prior year. In no event shall the regional asset limit be less than that for the previous year.
(10)
The rent levels of very-low-, low- and moderate-income units may
be increased annually based on the percentage increase in the Housing
Consumer Price Index for the Northeast Urban Area, upon its publication
for the prior calendar year. This increase shall not exceed 9% in
any one year. Rents for units constructed pursuant to low-income-housing
tax credit regulations shall be indexed pursuant to the regulations
governing low-income-housing tax credits.
A.
For any affordable housing unit that is part of a condominium association
and/or homeowner's association, the master deed shall reflect that
the association fee assessed for each affordable housing unit shall
be established at 100% of the market rate fee.
