The purpose of the OVL-6 Overlay District is to create a realistic
opportunity for the construction of low- and moderate-income housing
in a suitable portion of the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills, and
thereby help to address the fair share housing obligation of the Township
of Parsippany-Troy Hills under the New Jersey Fair Housing Act (FHA),
applicable Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) regulations, the settlement
agreement entered into between the Township and Fair Share Housing
Center (FSHC) on April 11, 2019, and the Township's Housing Element
and Fair Share Plan. The OVL-6 Overlay District encourages the development
of low- and moderate-income housing by allowing for an age restricted
and an assisted living multifamily residential development; however,
developers shall also have the option of developing in accordance
with the underlying ROL Research Office and Laboratory Zone standards.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
AGE-RESTRICTED HOUSING

definition. Age restricted shall include a head of household with
a minimum age of 55 years old for residents, subject to compliance
with federal law. No more than one residential unit may be occupied
by employees of the owner or operating entity, who are employed as
superintendents for the age-restricted project.
TRACT
For purposes of this section, the word or phrase "tract"
or "tract lot line" shall be synonymous with the OVL-6 District itself.

whole, the bulk requirements as noted in the OVL-6 District are to
apply to either the tract or internal lot or lot line as identified
