Conditional uses permitted:

Multifamily housing with a percentage of the units set aside for low- and moderate-income qualified households in accordance with the following conditions: Multifamily housing shall only be permitted if approved central sanitary sewerage and water facilities are available.
(a) 
Projects in excess of 160 units on more than 50 contiguous acres. The gross density for multifamily units constructed on 50 contiguous acres or more shall not exceed six units per developable acre in accordance with the definition of "developable acre" in § 455-5 of the Township Code. Twenty percent of such multifamily units, or the maximum required by the State of New Jersey, shall be allocated for sale to low- and/or moderate-income households in accordance with the Fair Housing Act, N.J.S.A. 52:27D-301 and Chapter 145, Affordable Housing. For purposes herein, "contiguous land(s)" is intended to mean land(s) and/or parcels of land which are contiguous or adjacent, but need not be in the same Tax Map block and lot and which are owned and/or controlled by a single entity intending to develop an inclusionary development, including but not limited to parcels which are divided by a road or highway.
(b) 
Projects containing less than 160 units on less than 50 contiguous acres. The gross density for an inclusionary multifamily development on less than 50 contiguous acres may exceed six units per developable acre if more than 50% of the property, including wetlands, is to remain as permanent open space. In no event, however, shall the overall gross density exceed 160 dwelling units. Upon approval of the Planning Board, the developer set aside requirement for low- and moderate-income housing may be reduced from 20% to no less than 15% for projects that contain 160 units or less. In no event, however, shall the overall gross density, inclusive of developable and undevelopable lands, exceed 3.35 units per gross acre or have a low- and moderate-income housing set aside of less than 15%. The division between those units set aside shall be as follows:
[1] 
Low-income units: 50% of the total set-aside.
[2] 
Moderate-income units: 50% of the total set-aside.
(c) 
Multifamily developments, as a conditional use in the MC Districts, shall be in accordance with the multifamily regulations established in §§ 525-92 of this chapter.
