Introduced Text

New Jersey S2085 allows municipal challenges to non-redevelopment housing projects ordered by COAH unless based on exclusionary zoning, excludes.

New Jersey S2085 amends housing laws to allow municipalities to challenge non-redevelopment housing projects ordered by the Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) unless the order is based on exclusionary zoning practices. It also excludes flood-prone land from the analysis of available land resources for affordable housing purposes. Additionally, the bill sets a cap on the number of housing units a municipality can be required to allocate as its fair share affordable housing obligation, preventing an increase in municipal population by more than five percent in any 10-year period.
