All of Site A shall be used for inclusionary housing subject to the special standards and regulations set forth in the court-approved settlement re: American Newlands vs. Washington Township. These special standards and regulations shall be incorporated as part of this section as if same were fully described and set forth herein. Such special regulations for Site A are contained in a document called "For Settlement Purposes Only American Newlands Project, 11-3-1989 REV."[1]

For any site designated in the overlay map, land, building and premises shall be used by right only for one or more of the following:

Only the following accessory uses shall be permitted:

The maximum density permitted shall not exceed 7.5 units per acre. This calculation of density shall exclude wetland areas.

Site B and any other lands that may be so designated shall follow all of the area and bulk regulations and other regulations as set forth in Article XIV, MH Medium High Density Residential District, except for densities and other standards set forth in this article, which shall take precedence.

Parking standards shall be as set forth in Article XXX, Off-Street Parking and Loading.

All units built pursuant to a mandatory set-aside must be internally subsidized, i.e., developer subsidized. This provision shall in no way be construed to preclude municipal cooperation with the inclusionary developer's attempts to obtain subsidies or other financial assistance in order to increase the affordability of housing.

All inclusionary projects shall comply with all of the land use standards and regulations, Chapters 96, 125, 199, 205, 220 and this chapter, except as modified by this article.

All inclusionary developers may construct and market the required low- and moderate-income units either for sale or rental, or both.

Every effort shall be made so that both the facade and the type of unit of the low- and moderate-income units shall not be substantially distinguishable from the facades or types of the other units in the development. Comparable design shall be employed so that the low- and moderate-income units look as much as possible like the market units.[1]

Inclusionary developers shall complete construction on, and obtain certificates of occupancy for, units intended for low- and moderate-income occupancy in tandem with the market rate (unrestricted) units according to the following schedule:

The minimum size and percentage of units is as follows:

There must be approved water and sewer systems available to each unit prior to the issuance of building permits.

Wetlands and wetlands buffers shall not be included in any minimum yard area requirements.

Conceptual and final architecture of building facade shall be submitted for review at the time of preliminary plat submission. This shall include an indication of proposed materials and color combinations.

All low- and moderate-income housing projects shall be subject to the standards and requirements for recreation facilities as set forth in Article XXVIII.
