[Added 7-7-1992 by Ord. No. 1117]
[Amended 4-20-1999 by Ord. No. 1317;11-20-2018 by Ord. No. 1865]
It is the intent of this Article X to provide zoning regulations that create a realistic opportunity for the construction of housing affordable to very-low, low- and moderate-income households in the context of inclusionary residential developments that are zoned, consistent with an adopted Housing Element and Fair Share Plan, to allow a higher density of multifamily residential development than otherwise permitted in Wyckoff sufficient to subsidize the construction of such very low-, low- and moderate-income housing; to provide reasonable, non-cost-generating bulk standards for such development, consistent with the Residential Site Improvement Standards (N.J.A.C. 5:21); to provide overlay zoning to certain sites and areas of the Township that may someday redevelop so as to ensure that such sites will be redeveloped as inclusionary residential developments that will provide the opportunity for very-low-, low- and moderate-income housing to be constructed in the future; and to require all multifamily residential developments, including apartments, townhouses, condominiums and any other non-single-family detached residential developments, that are approved in the future to be constructed at a certain minimum density, but that are not currently anticipated as part of an adopted Housing Element and Fair Share Plan, to provide a set-aside of very low-, low- and moderate-income housing. All developments constructed pursuant to this article shall also be subject to the requirements of Chapter 77, Affordable Housing, which requirements shall accompany, and, where there is a conflict, supersede the requirements of this Article X. Any other provision of any ordinance of the Township of Wyckoff that is in conflict with this Article X or impose higher standards not directly related to health and safety shall be inapplicable. The definitions set forth in Chapter 77 shall apply to this Article X.

However, the westerly building may have a height of 50 feet if made necessary as a result of lowering the grade of the emergency access road surrounding the building. In addition, the eastern building shall measure at no more than 52 feet eight inches at the southeast corner of the building due to the change in elevation at the site. Notwithstanding the above, pursuant to the agreement, the topographical height of the two outside buildings shall be no more than 350 feet eight inches and the topographical height of the center building shall be no more than 357 feet as measured to the peaks of the roofs. This will ensure that the roof heights are no more than 12 feet higher for the center building and no more than five feet eight inches higher than the outside buildings than the Canterbury topographical elevation measured at a point as depicted on Exhibit 6 of the agreement.

Buffering in the form of evergreen trees and deciduous trees shall be provided along the southern property line in front of the development area which screens the development from the residences on Canterbury.
[3] 
Buffering shall be provided in the form of evergreen trees and deciduous trees along the western edge of the development area so as to screen the buildings from the public open space area to the west.
[4] 
Buffering in the form of evergreen trees and plantings shall be provided on the northern side of the tract and at other locations that will screen the development from residents on the opposite side of the railroad tracts as well as residents utilizing the path to the open space.
[5] 
Buffering in the form of evergreen trees and plantings shall be provided to screen the development from the properties to the east on Maple Drive and Cedar Hill.
[6] 
If requested by the Planning Board during the site plan review process, Canterbury will provide plantings and screening on the adjoining residents' properties if agreed by such individual residents to reasonably achieve this purpose.
[7] 
Trees shall not be less than six feet in height at the time of planting.
[8] 
All buffer area plantings shall remain unless replacement in kind is proposed or the removal is approved by the municipal engineer/Shade Tree Commission.
[9] 
The required buffering and screening is intended to reduce the visual appearance of the development and to screen the same to the greatest extent reasonably possible, recognizing that it may not be possible to totally obscure views of the development from all angles.
[10] 
Given the uniqueness of the site, these requirements supersede § 168-20F(2) of the Township of Wyckoff Code.

[Added 11-20-2018 by Ord. No. 1865[1]]
A mandatory set-aside requirement of 20% (if the affordable units will be for sale) and 15% (if the affordable units will be for rent) shall be imposed on any multifamily residential development created through any Township or Board action involving a rezoning, use variance, density variance, redevelopment plan or rehabilitation plan permitting redevelopment that provides an incentive in the form of an increase in the density on a site, which density is at or above six units per acre and results in the construction or creation of five or more new dwelling units over the number of units previously allowed. This requirement does not affect the requirements for production of affordable housing on sites that are zoned for inclusionary development as a result of an adopted Housing Element and Fair Share Plan, which sites shall be developed as provided under the zoning or overlay zoning enacted for those sites. This requirement does not give any developer the right to any such rezoning, variance or other relief, or establish any obligation on the part of Wyckoff Township to grant such rezoning, variance or other relief, nor does it suggest that a density of six units per acre provides a sufficient financial incentive for inclusionary residential development in all cases. A property shall not be permitted to be subdivided so as to avoid meeting this requirement. All affordable units created by this mechanism shall be family affordable housing units (i.e., non-age-restricted).

Editor's Note: This ordinance also repealed former § 180-60.1, Production of affordable housing as share of all new residential development, added 6-19-2007 by Ord. No. 1562.
