H. Required land use development staging.
(1) As a condition to preliminary approval of a planned
unit development plan, the Planning Board may permit the implementation
of the plan in whole or in sections or in stages consisting of one
or more sections or stages, under the sequence of actions determined
as a part of the development plan. Such sections or stages shall be:
(a)
Substantially and functionally self-contained
and self-sustaining with regard to access, parking, utilities, open
spaces and similar physical features and shall be capable of substantial
occupancy, operation and maintenance upon completion of construction
and development.
(b)
Properly related to other services of the community
as a whole and to those facilities and services yet to be provided
in the full execution and implementation of the development plan.
(c)
Provided with such temporary or permanent transitional
features, buffers or protective areas as the Planning Board may require
as will prevent damage or detriment to any completed section or stage,
to other sections or stages and to adjoining properties not in the
development plan. Plans and specifications of such sections or stages
are to be filed with the Planning Board and are to be of sufficient
detail and at such scale as to fully demonstrate the following:
[1]
The arrangement and site locations of all structures,
primary and accessory land uses, parking, landscaping, public and
private utilities and service facilities and land ownership conditions.
[2]
Estimates of the economic base of the section
or stage and its one or more sections or stages as supported by such
evidence as the estimated cost and market values of structures and
land improvement increase of taxable values; costs of maintenance
and services to be borne by public and private agencies; potential
rental scale costs of utility installation; the financial ability
of the developer to complete the plan and such other financial considerations
as the Planning Board shall deem applicable.
[3]
Estimates of its population characteristics
such as the size and composition of future population in terms of
probable family sizes of the several dwelling unit types; their need
for public services and protection, for recreational facilities and
for commercial and professional services; anticipated rental scales;
and related consideration.
[4]
Such further reasonable evidence and fact that
the Planning Board may require in order to determine that the objectives
and standards set forth herein are met.
[5]
Upon finding that the plan and specifications
for the proposed development of the section or stage conform to the
above conditions, the Planning Board shall so inform the administrative
officers as are charged with the issuance of permits for the construction
of utilities or structures that upon presentation of requisite working
drawings and specifications such permits may be issued. Upon substantial
completion of any section or stage, which shall include all performance
bonds, covenants and similar instruments to assure such completion,
and before proceeding with the review and approval of additional sections
or stages, the Planning Board may require a report and review of the
status, character and conditions and other previous completed sections
or stages with regard to their compliance with the plans, specifications
and estimates which formed the basis for their action and approval.
Upon finding that such compliance has occurred, the Board shall begin
proceedings for the review of the new section or stage.
[6]
As a further condition for approval of later
sections or stages, the Board may require or permit adjustments or
modifications in the conditions established in the approved development
plan to compensate for differences between the estimates of record
on previously approved and completed sections or stages as required
and the actual conditions prevailing upon their completion. In this
regard, consideration may be given to the balance of land uses established
consistent with the conditions of the development plan and the extent
of variation from the social and economic estimates upon which previous
approval may have been based.
(2) Notwithstanding the aforementioned conditions and
regulations, the following schedule for land development prevails.
Following preliminary approval of the development plan, building permit
shall be issued for the development plan in accord with the following;
(a)
No building permit shall be issued for more
than 25% of the residential units until at least 15% of the total
commercial development contemplated by the total development plan
has been issued.
(b)
Following the issuance of certificates of occupancy
for 15% of the total commercial buildings of the development plan,
then building permits may be issued for no more than an additional
25% of the total of the residential units of the development plan.
No further residential permits shall be issued until an additional
25% of the total contemplated commercial development is constructed,
for which certificates of occupancy are issued.
(c)
Following the issuance of a certificate of occupancy
for the additional 25% of the commercial building area, building permits
may be issued for the plan. No further residential permits shall be
issued until an additional 35% of the total of the commercial development
contemplated has been constructed and for which certificates of occupancy
have been issued.
(d)
Following issuance of certificates of occupancy
for 75% of the commercial areas of the development plan, then the
building permits may be issued for the balance of the residential
dwelling units of the development plan.
(e)

street, utilities and other public facilities. The authority granted
to the Planning Board and the Township of Egg Harbor to establish
standards for the location, width, course and surfacing of public
streets and highways, alleys, ways for public service facilities,
curbs, gutters, sidewalks, streetlights, parks, playgrounds, school
grounds, stormwater drainage, water supply and distribution, sanitary
sewers and sewage collection and treatment shall be vested in the
Planning Board for the purposes of this section. The Planning Board
is hereby authorized to make such modifications of standards and requirements
otherwise required of subdivisions as set forth in the Land Subdivision
Ordinance of the Township of Egg Harbor as long as such modifications are consistent with the
terms of this section, except that the following minimum standards
shall apply:
[1]
The right-of-way and pavement widths for internal
ways, roads and alleys serving townhouse clusters and commercial and
industrial developments shall be determined from sound planning and
engineering standards in conformity to the estimated needs of the
full development proposed and the traffic to be generated thereby
and shall be adequate and sufficient in size, location and design
to accommodate the maximum traffic, parking and loading needs and
the access of firefighting equipment and police vehicles and shall
be certified thereto by a competent expert or experts licensed under
the laws of the State of New Jersey. In such instance, other provisions
of this section shall not apply but may serve as general guides to
the Planning Board in approving the development plans. Internal private
roads shall have a required pavement width as follows:

to the issuance of a building permit, written certification from each
serving utility shall be required which shall evidence full compliance
with the provisions of this requirement.
[3]
In addition to all other standards, conditions
or requirements set forth in this section, all site and building plans
shall be reviewed by the Planning Board in regard to safety and convenience
of traffic access and parking, disposition and usability of open space,
compatibility of building types, building construction, floor plans
and other factors relating to site design. Said site review will also
include site design as it fits in with the general development of
the entire development plan area.

A. Purpose.
(1)
The Township of Egg Harbor uses its zoning code to meet affordable
housing needs by requiring residential development in certain districts
in the Pinelands area of the Township to provide affordable housing,
as is required by the New Jersey Fair Housing Act (N.J.S.A. 52:27D-301
et seq.) (hereinafter "Fair Housing Act"). Consistent with Section
329.9 of the Fair Housing Act, this section requires all residential
development within the RG-4 and RG-5 zoning districts to provide a
20% affordable housing set-aside.
(2)
It is the specific purpose and intent of this section to meet
affordable housing requirements required by Section 329.9 of the Fair
Housing Act, in the RG-4 and RG-5 districts of the Pinelands area
of the Township. This section also implements Section 8 of the settlement
agreement between the Township of Egg Harbor and Fair Share Housing
Center (hereinafter "FSHC") in the case entitled In the Matter of
the Application of the Township of Egg Harbor, County of Atlantic,
Docket No: ATL-L-1506-15. The settlement agreement was entered into
between the parties on August 16, 2017, and was approved by the Court

C, all residential development in the RG-4 and RG-5 districts of the Township that results in the construction of new market-rate dwelling units shall be subject to the provisions of this section.
C. Exemption. Residential development that has received preliminary
or final approval before the effective date of this section shall
not be required to comply with this section unless the approvals expire,
or approvals related to the development are amended to reflect a substantial
change to the general terms and conditions on which preliminary approval
was granted, including but not limited to use; layout of streets,
curbs and sidewalks; lot size; yard dimensions and off-tract improvements;
and, in the case of a site plan, any conditions peculiar to site plan
approval.

region in which the housing is located.
E. Residential provisions.
(1)
All residential development in the RG-4 and RG-5 zone districts
that result in the construction of new residential housing units shall
set-aside 20% of the new units for low- and moderate-income households.
50% of the low- and moderate-income units shall be set aside for low-income
households, including 13% of the low-income units for very-low-income
households.
(a)
On-site affordable housing construction. Any developer of residential
housing in the RG-4 and RG-5 zone districts proposing new residential
development shall construct, on its site, a 20% affordable housing
set-aside for low- and moderate-income households. 50% of the low-
and moderate-income units shall be set aside for low-income households,
including a 13% set-aside of the low-income units for very-low-income
households. The 13% very-low-income requirement will not apply to
developments that produce less than eight affordable units.
[1] As an example, if a residential developer seeks
to construct five units, four of the units may be sold at market rate,
and one unit must be designated as "affordable" for a low-income household.
[2] As an example, if a residential developer seeks
to construct 20 units, 16 of the units may be sold at market rate,
two units must be designated as "affordable" for moderate-income households,
and two units must be designated as "affordable" for low-income households.
[3] As an example, if a residential developer seeks
to construct 100 units, 80 of the units may be sold at market rate,
10 units must be designated as "affordable" for moderate-income households,
seven units must be designated as "affordable" for low-income households,
and three units must be designated as "affordable" for very-low-income
households.
(b)
Densities. The Township's residential zoning across the Pinelands
Regional Growth Area was based on the Pinelands Commission's requirements
of 2.5 dwelling units per acre base density with an increase to a
maximum of 3.75 dwelling units per acre through the acquisition of
Pinelands Development Credits. The densities within the RG-4 and RG-5
zones, which exceed the base densities, are as follows:
Zoning District
|
Density
|
RG-4
|
6.0 du/acre
|
RG-5
|
7.5 du/acre
|
(c)
Pinelands Development Credit requirements. Pinelands Development
Credits shall be required for 25% of all units in the RG-4 and RG-5
Zones, excluding those units which are made affordable for very-low-,
low- and moderate-income households. One-quarter of a Pinelands Development
Credit (i.e., one right) shall be purchased and redeemed for every
four non-income restricted units, rounded up to the next highest increment
of a quarter Pinelands Development Credit.
(d)
Application fees for municipal subdivision/site plan approvals.
Application fees for Municipal Planning/Zoning Board approvals which
provide affordable housing units shall be based on the nonincome restricted
units only.
(e)
Example of the affordable housing, bonus density, application
fees and Pinelands Development Credit requirements. As an example,
if a residential developer seeks to develop on 10 acres in the RG-5
Zone the following would apply:
[1] Units permitted = 75 units.
[2] Number of affordable units required = 15 units.
[3] Units for which fees and Pinelands Development
Credits are calculated = 60 market rate units.
[4] Application fees required:
[a] For subdivisions:
[i] Preliminary major subdivision: $400 + 60 lots @
$30/lot = $2,200.
[ii] Final major subdivision: $400 + 60 lots @ $30/lot
= $2,200.
[b] For site plans:
[i] Preliminary major site plan: $1,000 + 60 units
@ $25/unit = $2,500.
[ii] Final major site plan: 50% of preliminary application
fees = $1,250.
[5] Pinelands Development Credits required: 25% of
60 market rate units = 15 units or 3.75 PDCs.
F. General provisions for constructing affordable units.
(1)
Affordable housing units being constructed on-site shall be
in conformance with the Fair Housing Act, all applicable COAH and
UHAC regulations, the Township's Affordable Housing Ordinance, applicable
settlement or development agreements, and any applicable court orders
(including any JOR orders and JOR condition follow up orders). Such
requirements shall include, but are not limited to, requirements regarding
phasing schedule, controls on affordability, low-/moderate-income
split, heating source, maximum rent and/or sales prices, affordability
average, bedroom distribution, and affirmative marketing.
(2)
Projects which contain less than 20 total affordable units shall
have the units dispersed throughout the developments and shall be
located within buildings designed to be architecturally indistinguishable
from the market-rate units otherwise being constructed within the
development. Projects which contain 20 or more affordable units shall
have the option of providing 100%-affordable buildings that meet the
requirements for garden apartments at a location on-site. Regardless
of how the units are provided, the scale, massing, roof pitch and
architectural detailing (such as the selection of exterior materials,
doors, windows, etc.) of the buildings containing the affordable housing
units shall be similar to and compatible with that of the market-rate
units.
G. Other regulations are as follows:
(1)
Every residential development applicant shall be required to
submit a proposed Affordable Housing Production Plan (AHPP) at the
time the application is made. The AHPP shall be a condition of the
"completeness" determination. Each AHPP shall be the subject of review
for consistency with the Fair Housing Act, applicable COAH and UHAC
regulations, the Township's Housing Element and Fair Share Plan, the
Township's Affordable Housing Ordinance, applicable settlement and
development agreements, court orders (including any JOR orders and
JOR condition satisfaction orders), this section and such other rules
and regulations as may be applicable. This review shall be conducted
by the Township Planner and/or by such other person or entity as shall
be designated to administer the Township's affordable housing matters.
(2)
The AHPP shall provide, at a minimum, the following items:
(a)
Calculation of the affordable housing obligation resulting from
the construction of residential units to be sold at market rate;
(b)
Description of how the obligation shall be satisfied;
(c)
Site plan and floor plan, the location of all market and affordable
units; and
(d)
The following information must be provided for each affordable
unit:
[1] What income level the unit will be available to:
moderate-income household, low-income household or very-low-income
household;
[2] Whether the unit will be for-sale or for-rent;
and
(3)
The AHPP shall be approved by the Board hearing the development
application. The Board shall consider the impacts of the proposal
relative to its consistency with the Fair Housing Act, applicable
COAH and UHAC regulations, the Township's Housing Element and Fair
Share Plan, the Township's Affordable Housing Ordinance, applicable
settlement and development agreements and any court orders (including
any JOR orders and JOR condition satisfaction orders).
(4)

regulations, the Township's Housing Element and Fair Share Plan, the
Township's Affordable Housing Ordinance, applicable settlement and
development agreements, court orders (including any JOR orders and
JOR condition satisfaction orders) with the approved AHPP shall be
a condition of the Board's resolution of approval.
(5)
It shall be the developer's responsibility, at its sole cost
and expense, to contract with an experienced entity for the initial
and ongoing administration of the controls on affordability so as
to ensure full compliance with the Fair Housing Act, applicable COAH
and UHAC regulations, the Township's Housing Element and Fair Share
Plan, the Township's Affordable Housing Ordinance, applicable settlement
and development agreements and any court orders (including any JOR
orders and JOR condition satisfaction orders). By February 1 of each
year, the designated administrative entity shall file with the Township
appointed administrative agent and the Township Clerk of the Township
of Egg Harbor such certifications, reports and/or monitoring forms
as will be required by COAH or the court to verify the continuing
compliance of each affordable unit with the aforementioned applicable
rules, regulations, agreements and court orders. If such an administrative
entity is not the same administrative agent utilized by the Township,
said entity will cooperate with the Township's administrative agent
and make all certifications, reports and/or monitoring forms available
for review and approval upon request.

front on Winnipeg Avenue, then a fifty-foot landscaped buffer will
be required to be provided along both sides of Winnipeg Avenue where
the single-family units do not front. In the event single-family detached
homes front on Winnipeg Avenue, then no buffer shall be required as
to the side of Winnipeg where the single-family units are located
and front on Winnipeg. "Fronting on Winnipeg Avenue" means that the
front door and driveway shall be along Winnipeg. The intent of the
parties is that there will either be a fifty-foot buffer or single-family
detached units fronting on both sides of Winnipeg.

In the event that there are fewer than 55.783 acres, the maximum number will be adjusted downwards, but not upwards, based upon the following formula: number of acres times four units per acre equals the maximum number of units allowed. The selection by the developer(s) from the use and bulk standards set forth in Subsection
Y shall affect the extent to which the 223 units are achieved.
Y. Pinelands development credits ("PDCs") will not be charged to the
mobile home park, but the purchase and redemption of PDCs is required
