Closter Planning Board Resolution
The Closter Planning Board adopted a resolution regarding the Master Plan Amendment, Housing Plan Element, and Fair Share Plan Round 4. The plan addresses the Borough's Fourth Round affordable housing obligation, with preliminary calculations from the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs indicating a need for 16 units of Present Need and 251 units of Prospective Need. The Borough sought relief from the Affordable Housing Dispute Resolution Program, resulting in a determination of 241 units for Prospective Need. The Plan identifies specific parcels for redevelopment to meet the adjusted obligation, considering the Borough's limited vacant land. The Board determined that the Plan advances goals of the Municipal Land Use Law and Fair Housing Act, providing a realistic opportunity for the development of the Borough's fair share of regional low and moderate cost housing.
