The purpose of the OVL-2 Overlay District is to create a realistic opportunity for the construction of low- and moderate-income housing in a suitable portion of the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills, and thereby help to address the fair share housing obligation of the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills under the New Jersey Fair Housing Act (FHA), applicable Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) regulations, the settlement agreement entered into between the Township and Fair Share Housing Center (FSHC) on April 11, 2019, and the Township's Housing Element and Fair Share Plan. The OVL-2 Overlay District encourages the development of low- and moderate-income housing by allowing for a mixed use inclusionary multifamily residential; however, developers shall also have the option of developing in accordance with the underlying B-5 Zone standards.
Principal uses. The principal permitted uses in the OVL-2 Overlay Zone shall be identical to those uses permitted in the B-5 Zone as set forth at § 430-126; provided, however, that any developer that elects to develop in accordance with the OVL-2 Overlay Zone standards as set forth herein shall be required to provide multifamily dwellings as noted herein.
Nonresidential uses. The ground level of all buildings developed in accordance with the OVL-2 Overlay Zone shall permit any combination of permitted principal nonresidential uses as set forth at § 430-126 below multifamily residential dwellings.
