INTRODUCTION Pursuant to the Highlands Water Protection and Planning Act ( Highlands Act N.J.S.A. 13:20-1 et seq.), Executive Order 114, and the October 30, 2008 Memorandum of Understanding between the New Jersey Highlands Water Protection and Planning Council ( Highlands Council ) and the New Jersey Council on Affordable Housing ( COAH ), a municipality seeking conformance with the Highlands Regional Master Plan ( RMP ) is required to prepare a housing element and fair share plan that utilizes COAH s August 12, 2009 Guidance for Municipalities that Conform to the Highlands Regional Master Plan as well as the August 2009 Highlands Council Module 3: Housing Element and Fair Share Plan Instructions. The Highlands Module 3 Instructions established a submission schedule and instructions for the preparation of Module 3. The schedule established three submission dates and corresponding submission requirements December 8, 2009, March 1, 2010, and June 8, 2010. For the December 8, 2009 deadline, the Highlands Council requires a municipality seeking RMP conformance to submit the following: A Summary of the Housing Obligation, including the prior round obligation and the final projected growth share obligation as calculated by the Highlands RMP Adjusted Growth Projection using the Highlands Workbook D or COAH Projected Growth Share Obligation using COAH s Workbook A. For this submission requirement, the municipality is the required to select either the COAH Projected Growth Share Obligation or the Highlands RMP Adjusted Growth Share Projection based on Land Capacity; A Summary and Consistency Review of proposed Prior Round Sites using the Highlands Site Consistency Review Standards and COAH s site suitability standards per N.J.A.C. 5:97-3.13; and Narrative regarding the municipality s interest in participating in the Housing Partnership Program as either a sending or receiving municipality and the justification for utilizing the partnership. This document will serve to meet the Highlands Council s December 8, 2009 Submission Requirements. Draft November 5, 2009 2 of 15

SUMMARY OF HOUSING OBLIGATION There are three components to a municipality s affordable housing obligation: the rehabilitation share, the prior round obligation and the third round obligation. The Appendices to COAH s substantive rules, N.J.A.C. 5:97 et seq., provide each municipality s rehabilitation and prior round affordable housing obligation. For municipalities in the Highlands Region that are choosing to conform their Planning Area land use regulations to the RMP, the third round obligation is composed of the actual growth share obligation in the municipality generated between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2008 and the growth share obligation which would be generated by the results of the Highlands Build-Out analysis conducted in cooperation between the municipality and the Highlands Council as Modules 1 and 2 of the Plan Conformance Process. The calculation of the third round obligation was solidified by the Memorandum of Understanding between COAH and the Highlands Council, as well as guidance issued by both agencies. Union Township s affordable housing obligation is summarized below and described in further detail on the following pages. Rehabilitation Obligation: 4 (Appendix B.) Prior Round Obligation: 78 (Appendix C.) Third Round Obligation: 48 (Appendix F.), prior to an adjustment to 46 units based on prior round inclusionary development exclusions Rehabilitation Obligation The rehabilitation obligation is defined as the number of deficient housing units occupied by low and moderate income households within a municipality (N.J.A.C. 5:97-1.4). COAH calculates this figure using indices such as overcrowding of units constructed prior to 1950, incomplete kitchen facilities, incomplete plumbing facilities and the estimated number of low and moderate income households in the municipality. COAH has calculated Union Township s rehabilitation obligation to be 4 units. Please see Table 1, Calculation of the Rehabilitation Obligation, for additional information. Draft November 5, 2009 3 of 15

Table 1. Calculation of the Rehabilitation Obligation Overcrowding of units constructed prior to 1950 0 Incomplete plumbing facilities + 0 Incomplete kitchen facilities + 6 Low and moderate income share *0.691 Rehabilitation share credit - 0 Rehabilitation Obligation Source: Appendix B to N.J.A.C. 5:97 4 units Prior Round Obligation The prior round obligation can be defined as the cumulative 1987 through 1999 affordable housing obligation (N.J.A.C. 5:97-1.4). This time period corresponds to the first and second rounds of affordable housing. COAH has calculated Union Township s prior round obligation to be 78 units (Appendix C. to N.J.A.C. 5:97). Third Round Obligation COAH has taken a very different approach to calculating third round affordable housing obligations. The COAH third round obligation is initially based solely on COAH s household and job projections for each municipality during the third round. For every five households, or units, projected during the third round, one affordable housing unit must be provided. For every 16 jobs projected, the Township must provide one affordable housing unit. Municipalities within the Highlands that are conforming with the RMP are required to use the aforementioned affordable housing ratios; however, they may elect to utilize either COAH s household and employment projections or the projections based on the RMP build-out under Module 2. The following sections describe the methodology for the affordable housing obligations. Obligation Based on COAH s Projections Draft November 5, 2009 4 of 15

COAH s substantive rules require that a municipality plan for the affordable housing obligation generated by the projections; however, a municipality must provide affordable housing in proportion to its actual growth (N.J.A.C. 5:97-2.2(e)). COAH has projected the creation of 234 households and 22 jobs in Union Township during the third round (N.J.A.C. 5:97 Appendix F, Allocating Growth to Municipalities). COAH s substantive rules, N.J.A.C. 5:97-2.4, permit municipalities to exclude certain market and affordable units from the third round household projections. Specifically, municipalities may exclude the following: Affordable units which received credit in a first or second round plan and have been or will be constructed during the third round. Market rate units in an inclusionary development which 1) received credit in a first or second round plan or are eligible for credit in the prior round and 2) have been or will be constructed during the third round. The Township has one development which is eligible for exclusion. Lookout Point. Union Township approved an inclusionary project with 54 market rate housing units and two affordable units at Lookout Point. To date, the Township has issued certificates of occupancy for 52 market rate units and 2 affordable units in the project. This family sale community is a prior round affordable inclusionary development. The Township is permitted to exclude a total of 10 units from its household projections, four market rate units for each affordable unit and the two affordable units (4.0 x 2 + 2 = 10). Accordingly, the Township s 48-unit third round obligation is reduced to a 46-unit third round obligation as calculated in Table 2, Calculation of COAH s Projected Third Round Obligation. Draft November 5, 2009 5 of 15

Rather than utilizing the household and employment projections delineated in Appendix F of COAH s substantive rules, the municipality may utilize Highlands Workbook D to calculate its Highlands RMP Adjusted Growth Projection. The Highlands RMP Adjusted Growth Projection is based on the following two components: Municipality s actual growth share between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2008; and Growth share obligation based on the results of the Highlands Build-Out analysis developed as Modules 1 and 2 of the RMP Conformance Process. Draft November 5, 2009 6 of 15

To determine the growth share obligation, the following ratios must be applied to actual growth between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2008 and the projections: For residential development, the affordable housing ratio is 1 affordable unit for every 4 market rate residential units. The Highlands Council presumes the necessary affordable housing units are included in the projections; thus, the municipality must divide the combined total housing units by 5 to determine the residential growth share obligation; For non-residential development, the affordable housing ratio is 1 affordable unit for every 16 new jobs created as expressed in new square footage of nonresidential space issued a certificate of occupancy between January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2008. The Highlands Council s build out analysis does not project the square footage of non-residential development and instead projects the number of jobs that are able to be created. The municipality is to apply the 1 in 16 affordable housing ratio to the jobs projected as the results of the Module 2 build out analysis. See Table 3. Non-residential Actual Growth Share Calculation for additional detail on how the affordable housing obligation generated by actual growth is calculated. Table 3.

Similar to the calculation under COAH s substantive rules, the Township is permitted to exclude affordable and market rate units associated with prior round inclusionary activity under Draft November 5, 2009 8 of 15

the Highlands RMP Adjusted Growth Share Projection methodology. According to the Highlands Workbook D for Union Township, the Township s third round obligation based on the Highlands RMP Adjusted Growth Projection is 28 units. Table 4, Calculation of the Highlands RMP Adjusted Growth Share, summarizes the derivation of the Highlands RMP Adjusted Growth Share obligation. Highlands Workbook D, which is included as Appendix A, provides further detail. Table 4.

It is in Union Township s best interest to utilize COAH s projected growth share obligation of 46 affordable housing units. Draft November 5, 2009 9 of 15

PRIOR ROUND COMPLIANCE PLAN Union Township s prior round obligation (1987-1999) is 78 units (Appendix C. to N.J.A.C. 5:97). COAH permits new construction credits and bonuses addressing a first or second round affordable housing obligation to be used to address the prior round obligation. COAH requires that the Township establish the maximum number of age-restricted affordable units, the minimum number of affordable rental units and the maximum number of RCA units using the formulas below. Minimum Rental Obligation = 20 units.25 (Prior Round Obligation-prior cycle credits) =.25 (78-0) = 20, rounded up A rental unit available to the general public receives one rental bonus; An age-restricted unit receives a 0.33 rental bonus, but no more than 50 percent of the rental obligation shall receive a bonus for age-restricted units; and No rental bonus is granted in excess of the prior round rental obligation Maximum Number of Age Restricted units = 19 units.25 (Prior Round Obligation + Rehabilitation Share Prior Cycle Credits Rehabilitation Credits Transferred RCAs) =.25 (78 + 4 0 0 4) = 19, rounded down Maximum Number of Regional Contribution Agreement = 41 units.50(prior Round Obligation + Rehabilitation Share Prior Cycle Credits Rehabiltation Credits) =.50 (78 + 4 0 0) = 41, rounded down As summarized in Table 5, Existing Credits/Bonuses Addressing Prior Round Obligation, the Township has addressed its 78-unit prior round obligation with a completed Regional Contribution Agreement (RCA), special needs and supportive housing, a completed inclusionary housing development, a proposed 100% affordable housing site that includes both family rentals and senior rentals, and eligible prior round rental bonuses.

The Milligan Affordable Housing Site is located along County Route 513 near the borders of Clinton Town and Franklin Township. The site was originally part of a larger tract of land, which the Township purchased from K. Hovnanian in 2006. The Township subdivided the 102-acre site in order to preserve approximately 88-acres for open space through the Green Acres program. The remaining development parcel will be used for the Milligan Affordable Housing site. The site consists of 14 acres, and is currently comprised of Block 20, Lots 22.03, 22.04, 22.05, 22.06, 22.07, 22.08, 22.09, 22.10, and 22.11. The lots of the development site will be remerged into one building lot. The Milligan site is surrounded by single-family detached residences to the south and west, the Edna Mahon State Women s Correctional Facility to the northwest and the Hunterdon Development Center (serving developmentally disabled residents) to the north along Route 513. Directly across County Route 513, in adjacent Franklin Township, Draft November 5, 2009 11 of 15

is preserved farmland, although just to the north in Franklin Township is a large commercial shopping center. The site is currently zoned RM Multi-Family Residential, which requires a 10% affordable housing set-aside as part of an inclusionary development. The site is accessible via County Route 513. The Milligan Affordable Housing site adjoins the Edna Mahon state facility, which is currently within the existing area served by the Town of Clinton Highlands Domestic Sewer Facility (HDSF). According to the RMP, the Town of Clinton has available water supply capacity and sewer capacity. The Highlands Council Utility Capacity Technical Report stated that the Town of Clinton had 22.59 million gallons per month of available water capacity and 590,000 gallons per day in available wastewater capacity. If the Township is unable secure that capacity, the Township will use an on-site well and onsite treatment facility. As required to be documented in COAH s regulations at N.J.A.C. 5:97-3.13 Suitable Site, the Milligan Affordable Housing site is suitable as detailed below: There are no encumbrances which preclude the development of affordable housing on the property. The Township owns the site and has a free and clear title. As was noted above, the site is adjacent to residential land uses and other compatible land uses. The site has access to appropriate streets and can be accessed via County Route 513. According to the RMP, there is sufficient utility infrastructure capacity to meet the water and sewer demands of the proposed development. In the event that the Township is unable to secure public water and sewer, Union Township will utilize an on-site well and on-site treatment of sanitary sewerage. This site is currently within a NJ DEP approved sewer service area, and the Township has retained the site in the sewer service area in the Water Quality Management Plan being prepared by the County. The site is located in Planning Area 2 of the adopted State Development and Redevelopment Plan Policy Map ( State Plan ), which is the preferred location for affordable housing. It is also in the Highlands Planning Area. The narrative on the Highlands RMP conformance will be provided below. The site can be developed consistent with the Residential Site Improvement Standards (RSIS) and other state regulations such as those of the Department of Environmental Draft November 5, 2009 12 of 15

Protection ( DEP ). The aerial map of the site shows that approximately 3.17 acres in the northern portion of the site are impacted by the Highlands Riparian Buffer. However, the site consists of 13.97 acres of developable land, which is sufficient to meet the needs of the proposed development. Additionally, there are no historic or architecturally important structures on the site, and the site is not located within a historic district. The Milligan Affordable Housing Site is consistent with the Highlands RMP. The Highlands Consistency Review Report is included in Appendix C. The following outlines the issues identified in the Highlands Consistency Review Report and describes the Township s method for addressing them as it relates to the Milligan Affordable Housing Site: Highlands Open Water Protection Buffer. A portion of the development site is located within the Highlands Open Water Protection Buffer. It appears the Highlands Open Water Protection Buffer is associated with a storm water drainage basin on the Edna Mahon State Women s Correctional Facility. The future design of the site will maintain the 300 foot buffer to the maximum extent possible for this man-made water feature on the adjacent site. Forest Outside of the Forest Resource Area. The Highlands Consistency Review Report is based on the lot lines associated with the block and lot prior to the subdivision. The Milligan Affordable Housing Site is not impacted by forest outside of the forest resource area. The developable site was previously cleared. Riparian Area. A portion of the development site is located within a Riparian corridor with a moderate riparian corridor integrity score. The Township will utilize the Highland s mitigation process to ensure there will be no net loss of functional value of the riparian area as a result of site development disturbance. Steep Slope Protection Area. Future development design on the site will avoid any steep slopes to the maximum extent possible. Positive Net Water Availability Zone. The Milligan Affordable Housing Site is within a HUC 14 that has adequate net water availability sufficient to allow the development of the site. The site is not within a water deficit area. Prime Ground Water Recharge Area. As was noted above, the Highlands Consistency Review Report is based on the entire Block 20, Lot 22, which Draft November 5, 2009 13 of 15

consists of 102 acres. The subdivided Milligan Affordable Housing Site is not within a prime ground water recharge area. Wellhead Protection Area. The Milligan Affordable Housing Site is within a twoyear Tier 1 Wellhead Protection Area. The Township will coordinate with the Highlands Council to prepare an operations and contingency plan to allow for the future wastewater and storm water development of the site. Agricultural Resource Area. The site is currently located within the Agricultural Resource Area. The site as proposed represents a cluster development that is consistent with the RMP. Agricultural Use. As was noted above, the Highlands Consistency Review Report is based on the entire Block 20, Lot 22, which consists of 102 acres. The subdivided Milligan Affordable Housing Site is not currently used for agriculture. Public Community Water System. The site is not currently served by a public community water system. The Township will request public water capacity from the Town of Clinton. In the event that the Town of Clinton may be unable to provide water to the site, the site developer will seek a on-site well permit from DEP. The site is not within a water deficit area. Freight Rail Network. The site is located within a half mile of an existing fright rail network. This does not impact the suitability of the site for affordable housing. Conservation Zone. The site is currently located within the Conservation Zone. The Township will apply for a map adjustment if necessary. Conservation Environmentally Constrained Sub-zone. As was noted above, the Highlands Consistency Review Report is based on the entire Block 20, Lot 22, which consists of 102 acres. The subdivided Milligan Affordable Housing Site is not within the Conservation Environmentally Constrained Sub-zone. Critical Wildlife Habitat. As was noted above, the Highlands Consistency Review Report is based on the entire Block 20, Lot 22, which consists of 102 acres. The subdivided Milligan Affordable Housing Site is not impacted by critical wildlife habitat. Draft November 5, 2009 14 of 15
