Riverside affirms fourth-round affordable-housing obligation: 126 present units, 18 prospective units
Summary
Riverside Township adopted a resolution accepting the DCA's fourth-round fair-share calculations: a present need of 126 affordable units and a prospective need of 18 units, and committed to adopting a housing element and fair-share plan by June 30, 2025.
The Riverside Township Committee on Jan. 27 adopted Resolution 2025-#43 formally accepting the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs' fourth-round affordable-housing calculation for the township: a Present Need of 126 dwelling units and a Prospective Need of 18 dwelling units.
Resolution details: The committee stated its determination is based on review of the Department's methodology and calculations under the amended Fair Housing Act. The resolution commits Riverside to adopt a fourth-round housing element and fair-share plan by June 30, 2025, and directs that a certified copy of the resolution be filed in the official minutes.
Why it matters: The DCA's fourth-round determination sets the township's planning obligation under state fair-housing law and shapes future zoning, planning and affordable-housing project approvals. The township's commitment to adopt a housing element and fair-share plan creates a procedural deadline for the municipal planning and legal staff.
Provenance: Resolution text and adoption are recorded in the Jan. 27 minutes filed with the Township Clerk.
