Editor's Note: This ordinance repealed former Art. XXXA, OB Inclusionary Overlay Residential District, added 11-25-2019 by Ord. No. 2019-11.
A. 
As part of an effort to provide affordable housing, the Township shall implement an inclusionary residential overlay district that creates a realistic opportunity for the creation of housing that is affordable to low- and moderate-income households on four overlay sites on the following tax parcels:
(1) 
Overlay Site A: Block 66.02, Lots 1, 1.01, 2, 6, and 6.05;
(2) 
Overlay Site B: Block 84, Lots 33, 35-39, 52, and 65;
(3) 
Overlay Site C: Block 112, Lots 14, 15, 15.01, 16, 16.01, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 22.01; and
(4) 
Overlay Site D: Block 125, Lots 9, and 9.01.
B. 
This article establishes the AH Inclusionary Residential Overlay District, which permits the creation of single-unit townhomes and multifamily housing in all four overlay sites, as well as mixed-use development consisting of multifamily housing above ground-level commercial uses in Site B, with a maximum of 20 units per acre and a 20% affordable housing set-aside for all housing types.
C. 
Provided that such housing complies with the following inclusionary set-aside requirements and with the requirements of this article:
(1) 
At least 50% of the units shall be affordable to very-low-income and low-income households with the remainder affordable to moderate-income households.
(2) 
All affordable units created in the district shall be family units, and at least 25% shall be family rental units.
(3) 
At least require 13% of all units referenced in this agreement shall be very-low-income units at 30% or less of median income.
D. 
The overlay zoning shall remain in place for a period of at least 20 years from the effective date of this article.
A. 
Relative to any inclusionary development that requires at least 20% of the residential units be affordable to low- and moderate-income households, in the event that 20% of the total number of residential units does not result in a full integer, the developer/property owner shall refer to Chapter 143 to address the fractional unit.
B. 
Where this article contradicts Chapter 143 of the Township's Affordable Housing Ordinance, the effects and requirements of this article shall supersede the requirements of Chapter 143.
