October 2025 Addendum_West Orange_HEFSP

October 23, 2025 Prepared by Heyer, Gruel & Associates • Added an Additional Mechanism on page 122 to address the Fourth Round Unmet Need: “Accessory Apartments,” with the following additional text: o “West Orange proposes to adopt an Accessory Apartment Ordinance, to create a Township Accessory Apartment Program. This Ordinance will only apply to existing accessory structures (e.g., garages and carriage houses). The Program will be modeled upon the accessory apartment regulations outlined in N.J.A.C. 5:93-5.9, as most recently amended. These regulations permit up to 10 accessory apartments to be used to address a municipality’s affordable obligation. The Township’s Program will require the standard 10-year deed restriction as per N.J.A.C. 5:93-5.9(e), and a minimum subsidy of $10,000 per unit allowed for under N.J.A.C. 5:93-5.9(a)(2).” • Updated the “Summary of West Orange’s Fourth Round Unmet Need of 660” chart on page 123 to eliminate the 762 Pleasant Valley Way site, and replace it with 217 Main Street, noting that 11 affordable units are proposed. The 10 units to be created from the Accessory Apartment Ordinance have also been added to the chart. o The Total Units calculation is revised from 221 units to 230 units.
