In addition to the development regulations set forth in Chapter
134, Land Development, affordable housing development shall incorporate the following provisions:
A. Location of units. The affordable units to be provided pursuant to
the provisions of this chapter shall be located at the same site and
shall not be isolated from the market-rate units in any manner. However,
where the developer is constructing rental affordable housing in a
market-rate development where the market-rate units are to be sold,
the affordable housing rental units may be clustered to assist in
managing the property.
B. Design of units. Units to be provided pursuant to the provisions
of this chapter shall be designed in a manner consistent with the
design of the market-rate units and in such a manner that there is
no difference in the physical appearance of the affordable and market-rate
units.
C. Bedroom distribution. The following bedroom distribution shall apply
to the total number of affordable units in each inclusionary project:
(1) At a minimum, 35% of all low- and moderate-income units shall be
two-bedroom units.
(2) At a minimum, 15% of all low- and moderate-income units shall be
three-bedroom units.
(3) No more than 20% of all low- and moderate-income units may be efficiency
units.
(4) The developer of alternative living arrangements and restricted units need not comply with this §
213-47C.
D. Affordable housing construction schedule. Newly constructed low-
and moderate-income sales and rental units shall be built in accordance
with the following schedule:

The Township shall adopt such additional policies and procedures
as may be necessary in order to ensure the continued efficient operation
of the sales-resale and rental-rerental process. All such policies
and procedures shall be adopted in the form of rules and regulations,
by ordinance, and shall be filed in the office of the Township Clerk.
If, subsequent to the adoption of this chapter, the rules of the Council
on Affordable Housing (COAH) shall be supplemented, changed or modified,
this chapter may be modified to comply therewith.
The Wayne Township Planning Board, with the cooperation of the
developer, shall expedite to the maximum extent possible the processing
of applications for development of affordable housing.
