A.
This section is intended to provide assurances that low- and moderate-income
units ("affordable housing units") are created with controls on affordability
over time and that low- and moderate-income households shall occupy
those units. These requirements shall apply to new residential development
anywhere in the Borough of Riverton.
B.
To insure realistic opportunities for the creation of affordable
housing, any residential development of six or more units that occurs
at a density of six units per acre or more shall be required to provide
a minimum affordable housing set-aside of 20%. This is a mandatory
requirement for residential development that is created through any
Planning Board action on subdivision or site plan applications, municipal
zoning, use or density variance applications, as well as redevelopment
plan or rehabilitation plan applications. All new affordable housing
units must comply with all applicable affordable housing regulations
of this chapter including the requirements of the Uniform Housing
Affordability Controls. This mandatory set-aside requirement does
not give any developer the right to any such rezoning, variance or
other relief, nor does it establish any obligation on the part of
the Borough of Riverton to grant such rezoning, variance or other
relief absent the requisite planning justifications and proofs as
stipulated in the Municipal Land Use Law.[1]
