ADOPTION OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE TOWNSHIP’S ROUND 3 HOUSING ELEMENT AND FAIR SHARE PLAN

Please take notice that, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-13 of the Municipal Land Use Law (the ‘MLUL’), the Township of Wall Planning Board will conduct a public hearing at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, November 20, 2023 at the Wall Township Municipal Building, at 2700 Allaire Road, Wall, New Jersey, 07719  to hear public comment on the adoption of an Amendment to the April 2023 Amended Housing Element and Fair Share Plan, which will amend the Township’s Master Plan.  After public comment, the Planning Board shall consider adoption of the Amendment to the April 2023 Amended Housing Element and Fair Share Plan by way of resolution. 

The proposed Amendment to the April 2023 Amended Housing Element and Fair Share Plan was prepared in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:55D-28(b)(3) of the MLUL and the mandatory requirements of a Housing Element under the New Jersey Fair Housing Act (N.J.S.A. 52:27D-310), relevant regulations of the New Jersey Council On Affordable Housing (“COAH”), and the terms and conditions set forth in a court-approved Mount Laurel Settlement Agreement, dated December 18, 2020, between the Township and Fair Share Housing Center (“FSHC”), as was amended in March of 2023 and which is in the process of being amended again.  The Round 3 Housing Element and Fair Share Plan, as amended also delineates the actions taken, and to be taken, by the Township to create a “realistic opportunity” to satisfy its “fair share” of the regional need for affordable housing, set forth in the court-approved Settlement Agreement with FSHC as amended.      

A copy of the proposed Amendment to the April 2023 Amended Housing Element and Fair Share Plan of the Township’s Master Plan, and any other relevant documents, are on file for public inspection in the Wall Township Municipal Offices, 2700 Allaire Road, Wall, New Jersey, 07719 during normal business days during the hours of 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Friday.  Any party interested in commenting on the Amendment to the April 2023 Amended Housing Element and Fair Share Plan may do so at the public hearing.
