[Added 1-28-2009 by Ord. No. 1589[1]; amended 12-9-2020 by Ord. No. 1833]
A. 
Purpose.
(1) 
In Holmdel Builder's Ass'n v. Holmdel Township, 121 N.J. 550 (1990), the New Jersey Supreme Court determined that mandatory development fees are authorized by the Fair Housing Act of 1985, N.J.S.A. 52:27D-301 et seq., and the State Constitution, subject to the Council On Affordable Housing's (COAH) adoption of rules.
(2) 
Pursuant to P.L. 2008, c. 46, Section 8 (N.J.S.A. 52:27D-329.2) and the Statewide Nonresidential Development Fee Act (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-8.1 through 8.7), COAH is authorized to adopt and promulgate regulations necessary for the establishment, implementation, review, monitoring and enforcement of municipal affordable housing trust funds and corresponding spending plans. Municipalities that are under the jurisdiction of the Council or court of competent jurisdiction and have a COAH approved spending plan may retain fees collected from nonresidential development.
(3) 
This section establishes standards for the collection, maintenance and expenditure of development fees pursuant to COAH's rules and in accordance P.L. 2008, c. 46, Sections 8 and 32 through 38. Fees collected pursuant to this ordinance shall be used for the sole purpose of providing very low-, low- and moderate-income housing. This ordinance shall be interpreted within the framework of COAH's rules on development fees, codified at N.J.A.C. 5:93-8.[2]
[2]
Editor's Note: The provisions of N.J.A.C. 5:93 expired 10-016-2016.
B. 
Basic requirements.
(1) 
This section shall not be effective until approved by the Court, COAH, or a successor agency.
(2) 
The Borough of Glen Rock shall not spend development fees until the Court, COAH, or a successor agency has approved a plan for spending such fees (Spending Plan).
C. 
Definitions. The following terms, as used in this section, shall have the following meanings:
DEVELOPMENT FEE
Money paid by a developer for the improvement of property as permitted by applicable COAH regulations.
EQUALIZED ASSESSED VALUE
The assessed value of a property divided by the current average ratio of assessed to true value for the Municipality in which the property is situated, as determined in accordance with Sections 1, 5, and 6 of P.L. 1973, c. 123 (N.J.S.A. 54:1-35a through 54:1-35c).
GREEN BUILDING STRATEGIES
Those strategies that minimize the impact of development on the environment, and enhance the health, safety and well-being of residents by producing durable, low-maintenance, resource-efficient housing while making optimum use of existing infrastructure and community services.
D. 
Residential development fees.
(1) 
Imposition of fees.
(a) 
Within the Borough of Glen Rock, all residential developers, except for developers of the types of development specifically exempted below, shall pay a fee of 1.5% of the equalized assessed value for residential development provided no increased density is permitted. Development fees shall also be imposed and collected when an additional dwelling unit is added to an existing residential structure; in such cases, the fee shall be calculated based on the increase in the equalized assessed value of the property due to the additional dwelling unit.
(b) 
When an increase in residential density pursuant to a "d" variance is granted under N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70d(5) (known as a "d" variance), developers shall be required to pay a "bonus" development fee of 6% of the equalized assessed value for each additional unit that may be realized, except that this provision shall not be applicable to a development that will include affordable housing. If the zoning on a site has changed during the two-year period preceding the filing of such a variance application, the base density for the purposes of calculating the bonus development fee shall be the highest density permitted by right during the two-year period preceding filing of the "d" variance application. Example: If an approval allows four units to be constructed on a site that was zoned for two units, the development fees will equal 1 1/2% of the equalized assessed value on the first two units; and 6% of the equalized assessed value for the two non-age-restricted additional units, provided zoning on the site has not changed during the two-year period preceding the filing of such a variance application.
[1] 
Eligible exactions, ineligible exactions and exemptions for residential development.
[a] 
Affordable housing developments and developments where the developer is providing for the construction of affordable units elsewhere in the Borough, if permitted by ordinance or by agreement with the Borough of Glen Rock, shall be exempt from development fees.
[b] 
Developments that have received preliminary or final site plan approval prior to the adoption of the first development fee ordinance shall be exempt from development fees, unless the developer seeks a substantial change in the approval. Where a site plan approval is not applicable, the issuance of a zoning and/or building permit shall be synonymous with preliminary or final site plan approval for the purpose of determining the right to exemption. In all cases, the applicable fee percentage shall be determined based upon the development fee ordinance in effect on the date that building permit is issued.
[c] 
In addition to the construction of new principal and/or accessory buildings, development fees shall be imposed and collected when an existing structure is demolished and replaced, if the expansion is not otherwise exempt from the development fee requirement. The development fee shall be calculated on the increase in the equalized assessed value of the new structure. Furthermore:
[i] 
No development fee shall be collected for a demolition and replacement of a residential building resulting from a natural disaster.
[ii] 
No development fee shall be collected for the construction of an "accessory structure" which is not a "building" as these terms are defined in the 1978 Zoning Ordinance of the Borough of Glen Rock.
[iii] 
Additions and alterations to existing detached single-family dwellings are exempt from the payment of a development fee.
[iv] 
Additions and alterations to existing detached two-family dwellings are exempt from the payment of a development fee.
[d] 
Nonprofit organizations which have received tax-exempt status pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, providing current evidence of that status is submitted to the Municipal Clerk, together with a certification that services of the organization are provided at reduced rates to those who establish an inability to pay existing charges, shall be exempted from paying a development fee.
[e] 
Federal, state, county, and local governments shall be exempted from paying a development fee.
E. 
Nonresidential development fees.
(1) 
Imposition of fees.
(a) 
Within all zoning districts, nonresidential developers, except for developers of the types of development specifically exempted below, shall pay a fee equal to 2 1/2% (2.5%) of the increase in equalized assessed value of the land and improvements, for all new nonresidential construction on an unimproved lot or lots.
(b) 
Within all zoning districts, nonresidential developers, except for developers of the types of development specifically exempted, shall also pay a fee equal to 2 1/2% (2.5%) of the increase in equalized assessed value resulting from any additions to existing structures to be used for nonresidential purposes.
(c) 
Eligible exactions, ineligible exactions and exemptions for nonresidential development:
[1] 
The nonresidential portion of a mixed-use inclusionary or market rate development shall be subject to the 2 1/2% (2.5%) development fee, unless otherwise exempted below.
[2] 
The 2 1/2% (2.5%) fee shall not apply to an increase in equalized assessed value resulting from alterations, change in use within existing footprint, reconstruction, renovations and repairs.
[3] 
Nonresidential projects that have received a certificate of occupancy or general development plan approval or have entered into a developer's agreement or a redevelopment agreement, all prior to July 17, 2008 (the effective date of P.L. 2008, c. 46), shall be exempt from the payment of nonresidential development fees, provided that an affordable housing fee of at least 1% of the equalized assessed value of the improvements is included in the development plan, developer's agreement or redevelopment agreement.
[4] 
Nonresidential developments shall be exempt from the payment of nonresidential development fees in accordance with the exemptions required as specified in the Form N-RDF "State of New Jersey Nonresidential Development Certification/Exemption." Any exemption claimed by a developer shall be substantiated by that developer.
[5] 
A developer of a nonresidential development exempted from the nonresidential Borough development fee shall be subject to the fee at such time the basis for the exemption no longer applies and shall make the payment of the nonresidential development fee, in that event, within three years after that event or after the issuance of the final certificate of occupancy of the nonresidential development, whichever is later.
[6] 
If a property which was exempted from the collection of a nonresidential development fee thereafter ceases to be exempt from property taxation, the owner of the property shall remit the fees required pursuant to this section within 45 days of the termination of the property tax exemption. Unpaid nonresidential development fees under these circumstances may be enforceable by the Borough of Glen Rock as a lien against the real property of the owner.
F. 
Collection procedures.
(1) 
The Borough of Glen Rock shall collect development fees for affordable housing in accordance with the following:

The Borough Construction Official shall verify the information submitted by the nonresidential developer as per the instructions provided in the Form N-RDF. The Borough Tax Assessor shall verify exemptions and prepare estimated and final assessments as per the instructions provided in Form N-RDF.
(c) 
The Borough Construction Official responsible for the issuance of a building permit shall notify the Borough Tax Assessor of the issuance of the first building permit for a development that is subject to a development fee.

The Construction Official responsible for the issuance of a final certificate of occupancy shall notify the Borough Tax Assessor of any and all requests for the scheduling of a final inspection on a property that is subject to a development fee.
(f) 
Within 10 business days of a request for the scheduling of a final inspection, the Borough Tax Assessor shall confirm or modify the previously estimated equalized assessed value of the improvements of the development; calculate the development fee; and thereafter notify the developer of the amount of the fee.
(g) 
Should the Borough fail to determine or notify the developer of the amount of the development fee within 10 business days of the request for final inspection, the developer may estimate the amount due and pay that estimated amount consistent with the dispute process set forth in Subsection b. of Section 37 of P.L. 2008, c. 46 (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-8.6).
(h) 
Fifty percent of the initially calculated development fee shall be collected at the time of the issuance of the building permit. The remaining portion shall be tendered to the Borough of Glen Rock at the time of the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. The developer shall be responsible for paying any difference between the fee calculated at the issuance of the building permit and the fee determined at issuance of certificate of occupancy.
(i) 
Upon tender of the remaining development fee, provided the developer is in full compliance with all other applicable laws and regulations, the Borough shall issue a final certificate of occupancy for the subject property.
(j) 
Regardless of the time of collection of the development fee, the fee shall be based upon the percentage that applies on the date that the construction permit is issued.
(k) 
The Construction Code Official shall forward all collected development fees to the Borough of Glen Rock's Chief Financial Officer who shall deposit such fees into the established "Housing Trust Fund."
G. 
Appeal of development fees.

(2) 
A developer may challenge nonresidential development fees imposed by filing a challenge with the Director of the Division of Taxation. Pending a review and determination by the Director, which shall be made within 45 days of receipt of the challenge, collected fees shall be placed in an interest-bearing escrow account established by the Borough of Glen Rock.
