Councilman Roth suggested that this be posted on our website in the future.

There was discussion regarding the Sewer Appeals Committee s work on the user charge system. The Committee has looked at the EDU based system versus a water usage based system and also some sort of hybrid of the two. They found not much gain to the payer by going to a water usage based system. Mayor Kennedy requested that the Committee report back at the next Council meeting so that an amended ordinance can be adopted in January for the February sewer billing. Teresa Yeisley advised Council that the Best Practices Checklist has been submitted and that the Town of Belvidere is fully compliant and will receive all State aid. A motion was made by Councilwoman Napolitani, seconded by Councilwoman Miers and carried to accept and approve the Best Practices Checklist as submitted.

O2018x12 TOWN OF BELVIDERE WARREN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY AN ORDINANCE TO ESTABLISH A NEW CHAPTER 60 OF THE CODE OF THE TOWN OF BELVIDERE ENTITLED AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT FEES BE IT ORDAINED by the Town Council of the Town of Belvidere, County of Warren, State of New Jersey, that the Code of the Town of Belvidere is hereby amended to add a new Chapter 60 entitled Affordable Housing Development Fees as follows: Section 1 CHAPTER 60 AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT FEES Page 4 of 12

60-1 Scope. This ordinance establishes standards for the collection, maintenance, and expenditure of development fees in accordance with the Fair Housing Act of 1985, N.J.S.A. 52:27D-301 et seq., the Statewide Non-Residential Development Fee Act, N.J.S.A. 40:55D-8.1 through 8.7 and precedent of the New Jersey Supreme Court authorizing mandatory development fees. 60-2 Definitions. a) The following terms, as used in this ordinance, shall have the following meanings: i. Affordable housing development means a development included in the Housing Element and Fair Share Plan, and includes, but is not limited to, an inclusionary development, a municipal construction project or a 100 percent affordable development. ii. Development fee means money paid by a developer for the improvement of property. iii. Developer means the legal or beneficial owner or owners of a lot or of any land proposed to be included in a proposed development, including the holder of an option or contract to purchase, or other person having an enforceable proprietary interest in such land. iv. Equalized assessed value means 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 (C.54:1-35a through C.54:1-35c). v. Green building strategies means 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. 60-3 Residential Development fees. a) Imposed fees i. Within the residential zoning district(s), residential developers, except for developers of the types of development specifically exempted below, shall pay a fee of one and a half percent of the equalized assessed value for residential development provided no increased density is permitted. ii. When an increase in residential density pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70d(5) (known as a d variance) has been permitted, developers shall be required to pay a development fee of six percent of the equalized assessed value for each additional unit that may be realized. However, 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 the filing of the variance application. Example: If an approval allows four units to be constructed on a site that was zoned for two units, the fees could equal one and a half percent of the equalized assessed value on the first two units; and the specified higher percentage up to six percent of the equalized assessed value for the two additional units, provided zoning on the site has not changed during the two-year period preceding the filing of such a variance application. b) Eligible exactions, ineligible exactions and exemptions for residential development: i. Affordable housing developments and developments where the developer has made a payment in lieu of on-site construction of affordable units shall be exempt from development fees. Page 5 of 12

ii. Developments that have received preliminary or final site plan approval prior to the adoption of a municipal development fee ordinance shall be exempt from development fees, unless the developer seeks a substantial change in the approval. Where a site plan approval does not apply, a zoning and/or building permit shall be synonymous with preliminary or final site plan approval for this purpose. The fee percentage shall be vested on the date that the building permit is issued. iii. An owner-occupied residential dwelling demolished and replaced as a result of a fire, flood or natural disaster is exempt from fees. iv. Within the SC District residential developers shall be exempt from paying a development fee. v. The 1.5 percent fee shall not apply to an increase in equalized assessed value resulting from an addition of less than 1,000 square feet. vi. The 1.5 percent fee shall not apply to an increase in equalized assessed value resulting from the installation or construction of accessory structures. 60-4 Non-residential Development fees. a) Imposed fees i. Within all zoning districts, non-residential developers, except for developers of the types of development specifically exempted, shall pay a fee equal to two and onehalf (2.5) percent of the equalized assessed value of the land and improvements, for all new non-residential construction on an unimproved lot or lots. ii. Non-residential developers, except for developers of the types of development specifically exempted, shall also pay a fee equal to two and one-half (2.5) percent of the increase in equalized assessed value resulting from any additions to existing structures to be used for non-residential purposes. iii. Development fees shall be imposed and collected when an existing structure is demolished and replaced. The development fee of two and a half percent (2.5%) shall be calculated on the difference between the equalized assessed value of the preexisting land and improvement and the equalized assessed value of the newly improved structure, i.e. land and improvement, at the time final certificate of occupancy is issued. If the calculation required under this section results in a negative number, the non-residential development fee shall be zero. a) Eligible exactions, ineligible exactions and exemptions for non-residential development: i. The non-residential portion of a mixed-use inclusionary or market rate development shall be subject to the two and a half (2.5) percent development fee, unless otherwise exempted below. ii. The 2.5 percent fee shall not apply to an increase in equalized assessed value resulting from alterations, change in use within existing footprint, reconstruction, renovations and repairs. iii. Non-residential developments shall be exempt from the payment of non-residential development fees in accordance with the exemptions required pursuant to P.L.2008, c.46, as specified in the Form N-RDF State of New Jersey Non-Residential Development Certification/Exemption Form. Any exemption claimed by a developer shall be substantiated by that developer. iv. A developer of a non-residential development exempted from the non-residential development fee pursuant to the Fair Housing Act, P.L.2008, c.46, shall be subject to it at such time the basis for the exemption no longer applies, and shall make the payment of the non-residential development fee, in that event, within three years Page 6 of 12

after that event or after the issuance of the final certificate of occupancy of the nonresidential development, whichever is later. v. If a property which was exempted from the collection of a non-residential 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 non-residential development fees under these circumstances may be enforceable by Town of Belvidere as a lien against the real property of the owner. 60-5 Collection procedures a) Upon the granting of a preliminary, final or other applicable approval, for a development, the applicable approving authority shall direct its staff to notify the construction official responsible for the issuance of a building permit. b) For non-residential developments only, the developer shall also be provided with a copy of Form N-RDF State of New Jersey Non-Residential Development Certification/Exemption to be completed as per the instructions provided. The Developer of a non-residential development shall complete Form N-RDF as per the instructions provided. The construction official shall verify the information submitted by the non-residential developer as per the instructions provided in the Form N-RDF. The Tax assessor shall verify exemptions and prepare estimated and final assessments as per the instructions provided in Form N-RDF. c) The construction official responsible for the issuance of a building permit shall notify the local tax assessor of the issuance of the first building permit for a development which is subject to a development fee. d) Within 90 days of receipt of that notice, the municipal tax assessor, based on the plans filed, shall provide an estimate of the equalized assessed value of the development. e) The construction official responsible for the issuance of a final certificate of occupancy notifies the local assessor of any and all requests for the scheduling of a final inspection on property which is subject to a development fee. f) Within 10 business days of a request for the scheduling of a final inspection, the municipal 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 Town of Belvidere 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 (C.40:55D-8.6). h) Fifty percent of the development fee shall be collected at the time of issuance of the building permit. The remaining portion shall be collected at the issuance of the certificate of occupancy.
