ORDINANCE NO. 2731-26
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AND ZONING ORDINANCE SECTION 501 – AFFORDABLE HOUSING
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This ordinance repeals and replaces Development Regulations and Zoning Ordinance (“DRZ”) Section 501 (Affordable Housing) and Section 502 (Mandatory Affordable Housing Set-Aside) to implement the Township’s Fourth Round Housing Element and Fair Share Plan and to update local standards governing the creation, administration, affordability controls, affirmative marketing, monitoring, and enforcement of very low-, low-, and moderate-income housing units. The ordinance establishes requirements applicable to inclusionary and 100% affordable developments and other affordable housing mechanisms, including (among other items) a municipality-wide mandatory affordable housing set-aside in specified circumstances, rounding/fractional unit treatment, phasing/completion standards, design and bedroom distribution requirements, accessibility requirements, duties of the Municipal Housing Liaison and Administrative Agent, reporting through the Affordable Housing Monitoring System (AHMS), and enforcement and appeals procedures.
ORDINANCE NO. 2732-26
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 22 – DEVELOPMENT FEES
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This ordinance repeals and replaces Chapter 22 of the Township Code (“Development Fees”) to update and restate the Township’s authority and procedures to impose, collect, deposit, monitor, report, and expend residential and non-residential development fees for affordable housing purposes, consistent with applicable State law and court requirements. The ordinance establishes the residential development fee rate, the non-residential development fee rate, exemptions and credits where applicable, collection timing and administrative procedures, appeal processes, and requirements for maintaining a separate interest-bearing Municipal Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The ordinance further provides that trust fund revenues and interest may be expended only for eligible affordable housing purposes pursuant to a Spending Plan, with annual monitoring/reporting requirements and limitations on administrative expenditures.
