Council approves ordinance accepting deep deed restriction for Village Green affordable units
Summary
On second reading the council adopted an ordinance accepting a mandatory deed restriction on the Village Green rental project, covering 78 deep-restricted affordable units in the development on Cloughner Road.
The Hamilton Township Council on Sept. 16 adopted an ordinance accepting a mandatory deed restriction for a rental project named Village Green, located on Cloughner Road.
The ordinance (3-25-018 on second reading) accepts deed restrictions for a multifamily development at 1531–1555 Cloughner Road, identified as Lot 1922 and Lot 26.01. The property owner was listed in the meeting record as 1651 Cloughner Bridal, LLC. Council discussion described the Village Green project as the first phase of a larger Cloughner Road development that includes approximately 388 multifamily units, with 78 affordable units subject to the deep deed restriction.
Why it matters: The adopted deed restriction preserves affordability controls on the restricted units, limiting resale and refinancing in order to meet the township’s affordable-housing obligations.
Council members provided brief context during the meeting, noting the development’s proximity to existing senior towers and referring members of the public to staff for additional details. A resident asked for clarification about nearby buildings and staff identified a nearby group home (described as operated by ARC) and the location relative to the senior towers.
The ordinance moved forward on second reading with a unanimous roll-call vote (5-0) at the meeting.
Ending: Staff will record and enforce the deed restrictions as required and coordinate final project documentation with the developer and the township clerk’s office.
