[Adopted 10-14-2009 by Ord. No. 1269; amended in its entirety 11-5-2014 by Ord. No. 2014-01]
Pursuant to P.L. 2008, c. 46, § 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 40:55D-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.
Pursuant to the Executive Reorganization Act of 1969, P.L. 1969, c. 203 (N.J.S.A. 52:14C-1 et seq.), the Governor abolished COAH and transferred all functions, powers, and duties to the Commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs, effective August 29, 2011. Any and all references to COAH shall mean the Department of Community Affairs (the Department).
This article establishes standards for the collection, maintenance, and expenditure of development fees pursuant to the Department's regulations and in accordance P.L. 2008, c. 46, §§ 8 and 32 through 38. Fees collected pursuant to this article shall be used for the sole purpose of providing low- and moderate-income housing. This article shall be interpreted within the framework of the Department's rules on development fees codified at N.J.A.C. 5:97-8.
This article shall not be effective until approved by the Department pursuant to N.J.A.C. 5:96-5.1.
Borough of Lindenwold shall not spend development fees until the Department has approved a plan for spending such fees in conformance with N.J.A.C. 5:97-8.10 and N.J.A.C. 5:96-5.3.
The New Jersey Council on Affordable Housing established under the Fair Housing Act which previously had primary jurisdiction for the administration of housing obligations in accordance with sound regional planning consideration in the state. Pursuant to the Executive Reorganization Act of 1969, P.L. 1969, c. 203 (N.J.S.A. 52:14C-1 et seq.), the Governor abolished the Council and transferred all functions, powers, and duties to the Commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs, effective August 29, 2011. As such, any and all references to COAH shall mean the Department.
Within all districts, residential developers, except for developers of the types of development specifically exempted below, shall pay a fee of 1 1/2% of the equalized assessed value for residential development, provided no increased density is permitted.
§ 150-54 Nonresidential development fees. [1]
Nonresidential developments shall be exempt from the payment of nonresidential 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 Nonresidential Development Certification/Exemption" Form. Any exemption claimed by a developer shall be substantiated by that developer.
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 Lindenwold Borough as a lien against the real property of the owner.
Note: It should be noted that pursuant to P.L. 2009, c. 90, and P.L. 2011, c. 122, the nonresidential statewide development fee of 2.5% for nonresidential development is suspended for all nonresidential projects that received preliminary or final site plan approval subsequent to July 17, 2008, until July 1, 2013, provided that a permit for the construction of the building has been issued prior to January 1, 2015.
Should Lindenwold 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 § 37 of P.L. 2008, c. 46 (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-8.6).
A developer may challenge residential development fees imposed by filing a challenge with the County Board of Taxation. Pending a review and determination by the Board, collected fees shall be placed in an interest-bearing escrow account by Lindenwold Borough. Appeals from a determination of the Board may be made to the tax court in accordance with the provisions of the State Tax Uniform Procedure Law, N.J.S.A. 54:48-1 et seq., within 90 days after the date of such determination. Interest earned on amounts escrowed shall be credited to the prevailing party.
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 by Lindenwold Borough. Appeals from a determination of the Director may be made to the tax court in accordance with the provisions of the State Tax Uniform Procedure Law, N.J.S.A. 54:48-1 et seq., within 90 days after the date of such determination. Interest earned on amounts escrowed shall be credited to the prevailing party.
Any other funds collected in connection with Lindenwold Borough's affordable housing program.
Within seven days from the opening of the trust fund account Lindenwold Borough shall provide the Department with written authorization, in the form of a three-party escrow agreement between the municipality, the designated bank, and the Department, to permit the Department to direct the disbursement of the funds as provided for in N.J.A.C. 5:97-8.13(b).
The expenditure of all funds shall conform to a spending plan approved by the Department. Funds deposited in the housing trust fund may be used for any activity approved by the Department to address the Lindenwold Borough's fair share obligation and may be set up as a grant or revolving loan program. Such activities include, but are not limited to: preservation or purchase of housing for the purpose of maintaining or implementing affordability controls, rehabilitation, new construction of affordable housing units and related costs, accessory apartment, market to affordable, or regional housing partnership programs, conversion of existing nonresidential buildings to create new affordable units, green building strategies designed to be cost saving and in accordance with accepted national or state standards, purchase of land for affordable housing, improvement of land to be used for affordable housing, extensions or improvements of roads and infrastructure to affordable housing sites, financial assistance designed to increase affordability, administration necessary for implementation of the Housing Element and Fair Share Plan, or any other activity as permitted pursuant to N.J.A.C. 5:97-8.7 through 8.9 and specified in the approved spending plan.
Funds shall not be expended to reimburse Lindenwold Borough for past housing activities.
Lindenwold Borough may contract with a private or public entity to administer any part of its Housing Element and Fair Share Plan, including the requirement for affordability assistance, in accordance with N.J.A.C. 5:96-18.
No more than 20% of all revenues collected from development fees may be expended on administration, including but not limited to salaries and benefits for municipal employees or consultant fees necessary to develop or implement a new construction program, a Housing Element and Fair Share Plan, and/or an affirmative marketing program. In the case of a rehabilitation program, no more than 20% of the revenues collected from development fees shall be expended for such administrative expenses. Administrative funds may be used for income qualification of households, monitoring the turnover of sale and rental units, and compliance with the Department's monitoring requirements. Legal or other fees related to litigation opposing affordable housing sites or objecting to the Council's regulations and/or action are not eligible uses of the affordable housing trust fund.
Lindenwold Borough shall complete and return to the Department all monitoring forms included in monitoring requirements related to the collection of development fees from residential and nonresidential developers, payments in lieu of constructing affordable units on site, funds from the sale of units with extinguished controls, barrier-free escrow funds, rental income, repayments from affordable housing program loans, and any other funds collected in connection with Lindenwold Borough's housing program, as well as to the expenditure of revenues and implementation of the plan certified by the Department. All monitoring reports shall be completed on forms designed by the Department.
The ability for Lindenwold Borough to impose, collect and expend development fees shall expire with its substantive certification unless Lindenwold Borough has filed an adopted Housing Element and Fair Share Plan with the Department, has petitioned for substantive certification, and has received the Department's approval of its development fee ordinance. If Lindenwold Borough fails to renew its ability to impose and collect development fees prior to the expiration of substantive certification, it may be subject to forfeiture of any or all funds remaining within its municipal trust fund. Any funds so forfeited shall be deposited into the "New Jersey Affordable Housing Trust Fund" established pursuant to § 20 of P.L. 1985, c. 222 (N.J.S.A. 52:27D-320). Lindenwold Borough shall not impose a residential development fee on a development that receives preliminary or final site plan approval after the expiration of its substantive certification or judgment of compliance, nor shall Lindenwold Borough retroactively impose a development fee on such a development. Lindenwold Borough shall not expend development fees after the expiration of its substantive certification or judgment of compliance.
