This district has been created to assist the Borough of Glen Rock
in fulfilling a distinct portion of its constitutional obligation
to provide affordable housing. As a community without the land resources
to fully address its affordable housing obligation, Glen Rock has
an unmet need component to its affordable housing obligation. The
AHO-2 District is designed to partially address this obligation and
to implement certain obligations detailed in the Court approved Settlement
Agreement between the Borough and Fair Share Housing Center. The provisions
of this section are intended to promote the health, safety and welfare
of the public and Borough of Glen Rock and encourage the construction
of inclusionary housing consistent with smart growth design goals
in the commercial center of the Borough easily accessible to public
transit.
Permitted principal uses in the AHO-2 District include each of the
principal uses permitted in the underlying district. In addition,
attached multifamily inclusionary housing is and shall be a principal
permitted use only on the second and third floors, but not the ground
or first floor.
Minimum tract area. The minimum area of the lots comprising a tract
for development permitted to apply the overlay standards of this zone
shall be 11,000 square feet.
Yards. Minimum required building setback distances are as established
by and for the underlying zone district. Notwithstanding the underlying
building setback requirements, any and all three-story buildings in
this district are required to provide a minimum twenty-five-foot setback
to any residential zone boundary line.
A five-foot pavement and parking buffer shall be provided along all
residential district zone lines. In those instances when the pavement
and parking areas are within 10 feet of a residential district boundary
line, a solid fence of six feet shall be erected with the finished
side of said fence facing towards adjacent residential districts.
Twenty percent of total number housing units generated in a development
in this district shall be reserved as affordable housing. All such
affordable housing shall be deed restricted for a minimum of 30 years
pursuant to N.J.A.C. 5:80-26.2. Affordable housing as defined in N.J.A.C.
5:80-26.2 shall be supplied in accordance with the price stratification
and bedroom distribution requirements as detailed in the Court approved
settlement agreement between the Borough of Glen Rock and Fair Share
Housing Center.
All affordable housing units in this district shall be constructed,
marketed, occupied and maintained in strict compliance with Glen Rock's
Affordable Housing Ordinance and the Court approved settlement agreement
between the Borough of Glen Rock and Fair Share Housing Center.
