No. 18-2019]
The following Affordable Housing Overlay Zone requirements are
designed to provide for the future development of affordable housing
to address the Borough of North Haledon's third-round affordable housing
obligation related to unmet need.
The proposed Overlay Zone is located in the southern part of
North Haledon in the RA-1 Low-Density Residential Zone, which permits
single-family homes on 25,000-square-foot lots. The overlay zone will
be located on a single 13.39-acre property, commonly known as the
"Alexander Hay property," and is identified as Block 23.01, Lot 10,
in the Borough's tax records. The property is currently used as a
wholesale greenhouse flower-growing operation. The property has been
operated in this manner for over 100 years by the same family. The
property is moderately to steeply sloped with the easterly portion
located in wetlands.
The principal permitted use is townhouses, which shall include
one garage for each unit. The attached maps[1] show the location of the property and the surrounding
area.

A.Â
It is the express objective of the Overlay Zone to encourage a low-density
townhouse development, which would be consistent and compatible with
the surrounding low-density single-family-home environment. As a result,
the recommended density for the Overlay Zone is six units per acre,
which is consistent with, but at a slightly higher density than three
existing developed affordable housing projects located in similar
areas throughout the Borough. These affordable housing projects were
developed at the following densities; Lakeside quarry development,
280 units at 2.69 units per acre; Summit Point, 56 units at 2.6 units
per acre and Squaw Brook Run, 64 units at 2.5 units per acre.
B.Â
A second compelling reason in support of this density recommendation
is the presence of environmental constraints in the form of wetlands
and steep slopes.
