Allendale planning board adopts minutes and passes minor subdivision and housing‑element resolutions
Summary
At its regular meeting the Allendale Planning Board approved the minutes of its Feb. 11 meeting, adopted a minor subdivision resolution for 345 East 20th Avenue and found recent zoning amendments and a housing‑element amendment consistent with the master plan; all measures passed on roll call.
The Allendale Planning Board voted to approve routine and land‑use items at its regular meeting.
The board unanimously adopted the minutes of the Feb. 11, 2026 meeting. It then approved resolution 26‑11, endorsing a minor subdivision at 345 East 20th Avenue (block 702, lot 10) that conserves and dedicates residual environmentally constrained land and declines an alternate plan that would have shifted a house forward and created a rear‑facing entry. The board also voted to issue a consistency determination for ordinances 26‑04 and 26‑05 and to pass resolution 26‑13, an amendment to the housing element and fair‑share plan that increases density in a designated zone in order to address fourth‑round affordable‑housing obligations.
The actions were taken by roll call. Vice Chairman Dalo, Councilman Tyler Yakarino, Chairman Serico, Mayor Wasinski, Board member Butler and Alternate Ensen recorded affirmative votes on the measures.
Why it matters: the minor subdivision resolves a development constraint on a single property and the housing‑element amendment and accompanying ordinance changes are the borough’s municipal steps to demonstrate conformity with state affordable‑housing rules and to move the matter back to the governing body for second‑reading consideration.
Next steps: the governing body proceeds to second reading and any further action required by state law; the planning board will post related exhibits and minutes for the public record.
