Board hears master-plan and affordable-housing update; staff reports data collection complete
Summary
Staff reported that data collection and analysis for the borough's reexamination and affordable-housing obligation are complete and that the borough certified a reduced land-capacity figure; the board discussed scheduling a combined public hearing on the housing element and reexamination.
At the meeting the planning staff updated the board on master-plan reexamination work and the borough's affordable-housing numbers. Staff said data had been gathered and that the borough had worked through Department of Community Affairs (DCA) inputs to reduce certain land-capacity assumptions that had previously inflated the need calculation. The number discussed on the record for the prospective obligation was stated in the meeting as "121" (as recorded in the transcript).
Members discussed timing: staff said a consolidated public hearing on the reexamination and the housing element could be scheduled and that statutory filings and deadlines (including the housing-element work by end of June) would shape the schedule. Board members suggested a work session or a public session preceding formal hearings so committee members and residents can review the draft materials.
