1. 10 Rooney Circle (Block 155, Lot 41.02) Located at 10 Rooney Circle, the lot contains 5.2 acres and is in the Essex Green Redevelopment Area. West Orange Office Executive Park is the current owner. The Township is currently in negotiations with the landowner concerning the future use of the site. By February 3, 2022, (18 months from the Court’s approval of the Settlement Agreement with FSHC) the Township will inform the special master and FSHC as to the future use of the site. If the future use is residential, West Orange will place overlay zoning permitting up to 16 du/acre and a 20 percent set-aside. Rock Spring Golf Course (Block 160,Lot 10) The Township has recently purchased this 138-acre golf course that it intends to initially continue its use as a golf course. The Township has contracted with a golf course consulting company to operate Rock Spring as a golf course for the next 22 months in order to establish its continuing viability as an 18-hole course which may be extended. In the event that the golf course is found not to be viable as an 18-hole golf course, but is viable as a nine-hole golf course, the Township will rezone a portion of the property to provide residential zoning permitting at least 150 dwelling units including a 20 percent affordable housing set-aside for at least 30 units. The Township will provide FSHC with notice of its intentions for the future use of this site by July 1, 2021 or sooner if a decision is made prior to that date. At this time the golf course will not generate any RDP but will be evaluated for RDP purposes at the time of notice of decision. VI. Additional Requirements 1. Thirteen Percent Requirement. The Township will require 13 percent of all affordable units, excepting those units that were constructed or granted preliminary or final site plan approval prior to July 1, 2008, to be very low income units, with half of the very low income units being available to families. West Orange will comply as follows: Affordable Housing Units Created after 7/1/2008 # of Units Valley Road Residential 55 West Essex Highlands _ | 100 Executive Drive Redevelopment Area (B:155, L:40.02, 40.03) 108 PRISM Redevelopment _ 44 Selecto Flash 7 Forest Ave Group Home 4 St. Cloud Group Home 4 Total | 332 Minimum VLI Required (13% of Total) | 43 Minimum Family VLI Units (50% of Total VLD | 22 PRISM ; 6 | 12 4852-5689-4161, v.1
