Age Restricted or Non-Age Restricted? That is the Question

Question of the day

Lacey Town Village, a non-age restricted housing development, is still a source of controversy in the township.

The applicant originally proposed an age-restricted development and changed to non-age restricted after Gov. Jon Corzine passed legislation in 2005 allowing developers to do so.

For those of you who haven’t been following Lacey Town Village, the plans for the development has 84 units (67 market rate units and 17 affordable units), some with the potential for three bedrooms, and there are 44 parking spaces. The development’s network of streets is 24 feet wide so on-street parking is not allowed. The development would also have a tot lot and a 1,503-square-foot community center with a capacity of 139 people and 10 parking spaces.
