(1)

On-site housing production;

(2)

Off-site housing production in the township;

(3)

The purchase of an existing market-rate home at another location in South Brunswick Township and its conversion to an affordable price-restricted home in accordance with COAH's criteria, regulations and policies;

Any other compliance mechanism pursuant to COAH's rules pursuant to N.J.A.C. 5:94 et seq.

Thereafter, the satisfaction of the affordable housing compliance mechanism shall be an automatic condition of all approvals that must be satisfied in accordance with COAH's phasing requirements pursuant to N.J.A.C. 5:94 et seq.

(c)

Compliance with COAH's rules. The affordable unit(s) to be produced pursuant to subsections (a), (b), and (c) of this section shall be available to a low income individual or household should only one affordable unit be required. Thereafter, each of the units shall be split evenly between low and moderate income individuals and households except in the event of an odd number in which event the unit shall be a low income unit.

Payments in lieu of construction.

Payments in lieu of the construction of affordable housing shall be based upon a proportionate share of the total project cost embodied in one or more pro-forma statements (pro-forma(s)) for the construction of an affordable housing development elsewhere within the Township of South Brunswick, which pro-forma(s) shall be on file in the office of the township clerk. The payment in lieu of construction to be made by the developer may be subject to negotiation with the township based upon the following considerations: the actual cost of buying down or subsidizing one or more existing or planned market priced dwelling units to achieve an average rent level affordable to a household earning 52.0 percent of median income; the actual land cost of site(s) earmarked for off-site affordable housing construction within the Township of South Brunswick; or reasonable and acceptable offers to substitute land, site preparation and/or construction services for all or a portion of the monetary payment otherwise required.

(2)

Regardless of the mechanism by which the applicant has been approved to satisfy the required number of affordable housing units pursuant to this section, any development or portion thereof that generates a fraction of an affordable housing unit as all or a portion of the obligation, shall be required to make a payment in lieu of construction for that fraction of a unit based on the pro-rated cost of constructing an affordable housing unit in the Township of South Brunswick.
