Princeton planning board holds executive session on master-plan housing element; public hearing set for June 25
Summary
The planning board moved into executive session to discuss the fourth-round housing element of the master plan in a litigation context; the board scheduled a public hearing on that element for June 25 at 7 p.m.
The Princeton Planning Board adjourned its public session Thursday to enter executive session for a discussion of the master plan’s fourth-round housing element, citing litigation context for the closed discussion. The board said it would hold a public hearing on the housing element at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, June 25.
Board members moved into executive session after the public portion of the meeting. Mister Cohen made the motion and Mister O'Donnell seconded; the board approved the motion by voice vote. The chair instructed staff to pause the public recording before entering the closed session.
During the motion, the board specified the reason for the closed session: “to go over the master plan. But that’s in the context of the litigation, which comes out of the new system for calculating fourth round obligations and fulfilling them,” a board member said on the record.
After returning from executive session the board announced the scheduled public hearing on the fourth-round housing element for Wednesday, June 25 at 7 p.m. The board also said the June 12 meeting might be canceled and that the planning office would advise members when a decision was made.
The board’s statement left the particulars of the litigation and any potential outcomes to the executive-session discussion; no additional details on remedies, deadlines, or external approvals were provided in open session.
