Planning Board Adopts Housing Element and Fair Share Plan

The Planning Board for the City of Linden adopted a Housing Element and Fair Share Plan as part of its Master Plan. The Plan shows the obligations the City has towards affordable housing and how the City proposes to address its affordable housing obligations. As a fully developed City, the City does not have sufficient land to satisfy the obligations assigned and thus it is entitled to adjust its obligations. The adjustment is called a vacant land adjustment. Nevertheless, the Plan calls for the rehabilitation of housing occupied by low- and moderate-income housing. It shows how the City will create a realistic opportunity for satisfaction of its adjusted number, also called its “realistic development potential” or “RDP”. It also shows measures the City will take to try to capture additional affordable housing.
