The Affordable Housing Overlay Zones are to provide a realistic
opportunity for the construction of affordable housing pursuant to
the New Jersey Fair Housing Act and thereby comply with the Municipality's
constitutional obligation to provide such housing to for low-and moderate-income
households. More specifically, the AHO-1 and AHO-2 zones are established
to incentivize redevelopment consisting of multi-family residential
uses, with an affordable housing set-aside, along with ground-level
retail, service, commercial and office uses to reinforce the existing
development pattern of the corridor defined, primarily, by Nassau
Street. The AHO-3 Zone is established to incentivize redevelopment
consisting of multi-family residential uses with an affordable housing
set-aside.

The AHO-7 zoning district is located almost entirely within
the Witherspoon Jackson Historic District and contains properties
with buildings that are eligible for designation as a historic building
or as a contributing structure within a planned historic district.
Furthermore, these buildings represent significant contributions to
the existing desirable character of the Witherspoon Street corridor.
The AHO-7 regulations are not intended to incentivize the removal
of such buildings. Therefore, utilization of the AHO-7 regulations
requires the retention of any street- fronting principal buildings,
to the extent practicable, in existence at the time of the adoption
of the ordinance establishing these regulations, on the following
properties that are located within the AHO-7 zoning district. Only
those proposals that comply with this requirement shall be permitted
to develop pursuant to the AHO-7 regulations. Nothing in these regulations
is intended to supersede the requirements for Historic Preservation
Commission approval within the historic district.
