Paulsboro Land Use Board forwards Fourth Round Housing Element and Fair Share Plan; borough needs 16 additional units under current rules
Summary
The Land Use Board adopted and forwarded the borough's Fourth Round Housing Element and Fair Share Plan, which counts Paulsboro's existing 130 units and identifies a need for 16 more units under state rules; the report goes to the Governing Body for final approval.
Borough Planner Chris Dochney presented the Fourth Round Housing Element and Fair Share Plan, explaining how Paulsboro's unit count is calculated and what the borough must plan for under current state requirements. "Paulsboro has 130 units, and with new laws needs 16 more units," Dochney told the board; he also said Paulsboro Gardens' 150 units will now be considered in the calculation because of the redevelopment designation.
The Land Use Board opened the public hearing and received no questions; members adopted Resolution PB-20-2025 and the document will be forwarded to the Governing Body for final action. The full report is available for review at the Borough Clerk's office. The planner answered board questions about allocation processes, noting roughly half the mechanism involves a lottery approach for assigning units under the program.
