A.
Purpose. The intent of this zone is to encourage highway-oriented
commercial development and to provide an area in the Township where
large industrial complexes may be developed. This area is located
to take advantage of the excellent highway access afforded by Routes
94 and 206. The standards are intended to require maximum attention
to proper site design, including the location of structures and parking
areas, proper ingress and egress, architectural design, landscaping
and the compatibility of any proposal with the natural foliage, soils,
contours, drainage pattern and the need to avoid visual intrusions
and performance nuisance upon adjacent residences and/or residential
zones. It is intended that existing foliage and natural features be
retained and enhanced in relation to the site as well as the surrounding
area. In the case of industrial complexes, the development of an interior
street system may be required in order to provide access to the building
and assure proper ingress and egress with a minimum of interference
with highway traffic flow.

J.
Affordable housing. It is the intent and purpose of this section
that the residential development of the Martin property shall create
a realistic opportunity for the development of 57 affordable rental
units. The residential development may be in the form of 100% affordable
units at a development density of 20 dwelling units per net acre,
or via an inclusionary development with a density of 15 dwelling units
per net acre, with a set-aside of 17.5% on about 22 acres, or a combination
of these mechanisms.
(1)
At least 17.5% of all residential units proposed in an inclusionary
residential development of market-rate and affordable units shall
be affordable to low- and moderate-income households as defined by
N.J.A.C. 5:93-1.3 and N.J.A.C. 5:93-7.4, provided that once 57 units
of affordable rental housing have been developed, this restriction
shall no longer apply.
(2)
Affordable units within a mix of market units shall comply with
the UHAC rules on phasing.
(3)
The schedule found in N.J.A.C. 5:93-5.6(d) shall be followed
in distributing affordable housing units during the construction of
the proposed residential development on the property.
K.
Development fees. No development fees (i.e., affordable housing fees), as described in N.J.S.A. 40:55D-8.1 et seq., and Hampton Code §§ 108-66, 108-67, and 108-68, whether for nonresidential or residential development, shall be applicable to, assessed or collected from any development on the Martin property.
