EXPLAINING THE SITUATION –Township attorney Lou Rainone explains to an objector why the Council cannot delay approval of five affordable housing-related ordinances at the February 10 meeting.
The Township Council on February 10 approved on second reading five ordinances relating to its affordable housing plan, but not without a speed bump.
The five ordinances were:
4489-26, which creates inclusionary zone MFIZ-4 and provides for the construction of a 260-unit apartment building at 315 Davidson Avenue, with 130 units set aside for affordable housing.
4490-26, which creates inclusionary zone MFIZ-2 and provides for the conversion of a 5-story office building into a 200-unit apartment building, 100 of which will be affordable housing.
4491-26, which creates inclusionary zone MFIZ-1 and provides for the conversion of an extended stay hotel at 260 Davidson Avenue into 142 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom units, all of which will be affordable housing.
4492-26, which creates inclusionary zone MFIZ-5 and provides for the construction of apartment buildings, 20 percent of which will be affordable housing.
4493-26, which designates 606-610 Franklin Boulevard as an “Area in Need of Redevelopment,” and provides for its redevelopment into 120 units of affordable senior housing.
The objection was to the first ordinance, creating inclusionary zone MFIZ-4, affecting Davidson Avenue property.
