AR-2 Affordable Housing Zone.
[Added 5-6-2019 by Ord. No. 2287-19; amended 7-20-2020 by Ord. No. 2321-20]
The purpose of the Affordable Housing AR-2 Zone ("AR-2 Zone") is to provide for the development of a multifamily inclusionary development designed to assist the Borough in satisfying its combined Prior Round and Round 3 (1999-2025) Realistic Development Potential ("RDP") affordable housing obligation through construction of affordable units set aside for low- and moderate-income households. The AR-2 Zone shall comprise the following tax lots: Lot 31.01, Block 66.02. This section is adopted in furtherance of the Settlement Agreement entered into between the Borough and Fair Share Housing Center ("FSHC") on July 2, 2018 (hereinafter "FSHC Settlement Agreement"), the Settlement Agreement entered into between the Borough and Broad Street 33, LLC and Union Avenue 33, LLC (hereinafter the "Sepe Settlement Agreement"), and in connection with the Borough's Mount Laurel litigation captioned at MON-L-2508-15.

Permitted principal uses: market rate and affordable residential housing within a multifamily building. A maximum of 23 units are permitted, with an on-site affordable housing set-aside provided.

For example, it is anticipated that a total of 45 residential units will be developed at both sites, which will require a 20% affordable housing set-aside of nine total affordable family rental housing units to be developed on the Union Avenue site.
