Bill Summary
This bill would clarify that a municipality which receives an adjustment to the calculation of its affordable housing obligation under the State's Fair Housing Act, N.J.S.A.52:27D-301, et seq., shall be entitled to rely on this adjusted calculation for the duration of the 10-year compliance period. As such, should additional land become available during this time, a municipality would not be required to recalculate its affordable housing obligation nor means for addressing this obligation during that time. This bill will allow a municipality to make sound planning decisions and address its affordable housing obligation because these decisions will be based on a definitive number that will not be subject to change for the duration of the compliance period. The bill will afford municipalities a degree of certainty in making such decisions.
AI Summary
This bill clarifies that if a municipality receives an adjustment to its affordable housing obligation, which is the number of affordable housing units a town is required to build, based on available land resources under the State's Fair Housing Act, it can rely on that adjusted number for the entire 10-year period designated for meeting its housing goals. This means that even if more land becomes available during that time, the municipality will not have to recalculate its obligation or how it plans to fulfill it, providing certainty for planning and development decisions.
