Item number 10, there's a discussion uh regarding the amended fourth round housing element and fair share housing plan.

Yep. Madame Chair, if I I'll uh just address it briefly and then I'll hand it off to Mr. Grant. Uh the board had previously adopted the fourth round housing element in the fair share plan um as part of the ongoing affordable housing um issues in the state of New Jersey and the litigation that came from there and the mediation program the township's been involved in. There are some deadlines that require the municipality to amend the fourth round housing element and fair share plan known as a HEPA HFSP. And as part of that, um, Harbor Consultants and Mr. Grant is here from Harbor Consultants prepared a report as to the why and the what for about it and I'll turn it over to him and he'll educate the board on on what's going on.

Okay. Good evening everyone. Good evening. I would if I'm able to share my screen that may be helpful to explain just a little bit of the background. Okay. Is everyone able to see the screen right now? Yes. Yes, sir. Yes.

Okay. So, um, in June of 2025, the the township adopted its housing element fair share plan, which essentially outlined how how the township would be providing affordable units over the fourth round period of 2025 to 2035 um, based on its state mandated statemandated obligation. Um so the obligation for the fourth round was 539 units and when the plan was presented to the board in the township um in June of last year we had conducted a vacant land adjustment which calculated the the realistic development potential of 316 units and we provided a chart with the crediting which I won't go over too much because the board approved essentially this chart last year. Um but I just wanted to give a background of to reference later when I'm talking about the updates to the plan um for this chart. So we originally had an RDP of 316 which is met through um several different projects which are listed in this chart um and we can go over later in time and that resulted into meeting a RDP of 316 and then subtracted from the fourth round perspective need of 539 that left us with an unmet need of 223 units which we addressed through these different mechanisms you can see in the chart. right here. What happened over the course of time is through the amended fair h housing act um by the end of August 2025 after the township had adopted its plan in June of 2025 um any challenger had the opportunity to challenge the plan um through a formal submission process and the township did receive two challenge letters um one

from Eminem uh developers which was proposing to have their property um included in the plan, which it wasn't included in the plan in 2025. And then also Fair Share Housing Center had challenged the plan um to help with the town, basically the town to to mitigate the issues with Eminem and also to clean up some other items of the plan. So, um, over the course of negotiations of the fall of 2025, um, the township has been, uh, through the process of the affordable housing dispute resolution program, has been going through negotiations with Eminem, the challenger, and fair share housing center, and had a series of settlement conferences over the course of the fall. Um, there were four different conferences and by the deadline of the end of 2025, the township hadn't fully settled with Eminem and proposed an amendment to the fair share housing plan um based on those negotiations. And um that proposal was submitted to both the affordable housing dispute resolution program and the court. And I'll go through that plan now. And this is essentially the plan that after it's been submitted to the court, um the township also received a letter of recommendation from the program judge and then also a decision from the superior court judge um of Middle Sex County that is essentially backing this chart that you're seeing right here that we're proposing the planning board um to adopt this evening. um pending ongoing negotiations with Eminem on the site uh which the township is still going on but it's based on the density of this chart. So this chart once it's approved would be essentially attached as an amendment

to the plan from 2025 with revisions to certain um elements of the plan which I'll go over uh very briefly. Um to help uh sort of break down the chart, I tried to color color categorize the chart for um projects that were already in the 2025 plan, but just the density changed which are in the orange color. Some are existing projects which were in the 2025 plan and just the type of unit changed. So it may have been listed as a family unit and now it's age restricted. Um and purple is for an existing project in its move from the unmet need to the RDP because the main the main issue through these negotiations in the 2025 plan we had broken the plan down um into RDP and unmet need because the town had conducted a vacant land adjustment and now this proposal we're completely getting rid of the vacant land adjustment um and fully satisfying then the town's entire fourth round obligation of 539 units. And then lastly, we've added some new projects based on the challenge uh the challenges from both fair share housing center and Eminem and those are highlighted in yellow. So moving forward um the Stelton Apartments project, this was already included in the 2025 plan, but we increase the density of the site uh based on discussions with the property owner and developer of the site. Um so in the 2025 plan this particular project was at 32 units and now we've increased it to 43 units. Um but the set aside of 20% remains the same originally at the 32 when it was at 32 units in 2025. Um excuse me. Let me look at my notes real quick. It was proposed at 160 total units

inclusive of 32 affordables. And now um based on further discussions we have changed that to 43 affordables um which are part of 250 total units on the project. Two of the other changes are that we included a new site to the plan, Turner Place and South Washington Avenue, um which will be an inclusionary family project, a total of 34 units, um at a 20% set aside of seven affordable units, which will be credited toward the town's overall prospective need obligation. and then responding to the challenge from Eminem that the town received last fall. Um, and through these ongoing negotiations, this property has been added to the plan. Um, right now under negotiations, we proposing 613 total units on the site. Um, one component will be 475 family rental units, which with a 20% set aside of 95 affordables. And then there will also be 138 age restricted um market rate units on the site. There's also additional um non-residential space on the site. Um and the extent of that is still under negotiations with Eminem, but the overall affordable housing obligation at 95 um is staying the same and that's what we're proposing um as part of this amended plan.

I I if I may, Madam Chair, I want to jump in on the Eminem. I just want to let the board know, and I know several of you do know, that uh Eminem pretty much when they came with a proposal was trying to destroy the township center contract. Um so we still have to sit down under the opaces of the uh the courts. However, their motive was always to destroy and just put, you know, thousands of units out there. So which would would have been a disaster for the town. So go ahead. Go ahead, Wyatt. Yeah. So Eminem when they had originally come through with a challenge came in um at a very high density. They had originally put together um a concept of over 900 units um and through negotiations. The town um is working with Eminem in the process but right now has held to 613 units. Um and that's what's being credited toward the plan. Well 613 total units to be clear. only 95 affordables from the project are used towards the town's obligation. Um, two other minor changes is that the RIA site and the 44 Stelton road sites, they were included as unmet need, but since the town has gotten rid of the vacant land adjustment. Um, and these projects have moved forward. For example, RIA already has final site plan resolution at that time last year had not received that. Um so it's moved as a more viable project towards crediting towards the townships for their navigation. And then the DO site it originally had been listed in the 2025 plan as family and the township has changed that project to be age restricted. And then finally, to fully wrap up the town's uh compliance with its overall affordable housing obligation, uh it's added an 100% affordable housing

site at the Macedonia Freewell Baptist Church properties and for up to 83 units. So the 83 is an a finite number. The the actual unit count is still um in the process as we're working with the developer to prepare the concept plans. Um, but as part of this plan, they're committing to up to 83 units. So, it could be 83 units or less. Um, and as you can see, the t that totals up to with all these credits and units in the chart of 583 total units and credits. Um, and based on the obligation of 539, that's fully being met. So, that's essentially a breakdown of of the compliance mechanisms. I'm happy to take any questions uh that anyone has on any of these sites or any of the mechanisms. I I just want to, Madam Chair, jump in there to let the um board members know at one time uh when this uh discussions got underway, the courts and the master of the court, they actually were using GIS mapping and they actually had over a 100 plus units in our public works yard that they wanted to be built and on other wetlands throughout the town that they wanted things built. All you had to do is just look at a GIS um map and you could see that it was wetlands andor the public works charted. That's how screwed up this whole application process is. Go ahead, Wyatt.

Yes. So, um this is the essentially the amendments to the plan. The main component is that the VA was removed. The township has gone through negotiations through the program uh to amend the plan to add additional sites being the Eminem site and the 100% affordable site and other minor revisions to the plan um such as the increase in density to the Stelton Road apartment site. And um now through different uh the response that we've had from both the program and the court is that they're supportive of this plan pending um settlement with Eminem and the township is working with Eminem uh to to move forward with that process of having a town center um at a density that's acceptable for both the township and the developer. Other than that, I'm happy to take any any further questions before voting on on what these changes are or anything.

Uh this is Carol Saunders. I did have a question on the Macedonia.

I saw that was originally slated to be single family homes. That site I know underwent um review, but now it's been added as a 100% affordable housing site um as part of the township's compliance. The the township doesn't have a concept plan for the site yet. Um and that's why the unit count is up to 83, but um to my understanding, it's not proposed for single family homes as part of this plan. What type of housing is it going to be?

It's going to be a a uh age affordable apartment units. Senior housing. Yes. Senior housing apartments, I believe. Yes. Senior housing um apartments. Correct. those senior housing apartments next to single family homes. Is that the proposal?

Yeah, Carol, that's the proposal. Get used to there's going to be a lot of building going on, unfortunately, in our community. And I just want to let the general public know it's not our doing. It's the courts and um fair share housing and uh a housing advocate. Is that be a lot of unfortunately a lot of uh development going throughout the whole town? Is that going to have any impact on the senior housing that's going on South Washington Avenue? No, that's a um Madam Chair, that's a separate separate separate application. Separate.

Yeah. I mean, uh why you can correct me this that's still a the one on Macedonia is still a concept. They don't even have uh plans yet to then still file the application. So they're probably down the road a little. Um and the other thing they would still have to come Mr. Barley. They still have to come before the board. One one at a time. We need to have one at a time talk.

Oh 100% mayor. They still have to come before the board. But they don't even have a a concept plan yet. So um and the other thing you know board members unfort that even with the complexity of all this the courts didn't really give the municipalities uh a large time window because the deadline to do this is March 16th so that's Yep. So it it deadline to adopt this plan is what I mean. Um not to start

and and what I've seen is over the last month all the surrounding towns have been scrambling like like Priscatoaways had to because this is kind of being rammed down you know the town's throat so to speak. This whole law that the state legislature did it was all screwed up. Yeah. Yeah. So this is I mean, Madam Chair, the fact that they actually had our public works yard slated to have well over 150 units there and we had to convince the judge that was our public works yard when anybody could go on Google Earth or whatever and see that it was a public works. Just tells tells you right there how screwed this whole thing is.

Um, wow. Any other questions from members of the board?

Um, Reverend Kenny, I just I know that uh they were proposing these houses uh for seniors, but they still have to have seniors someplace to live because some seniors don't want to live in a building, you know, such as a senior's building. And you know, they want to be able to afford. I I understand a lot of that. And not only this municipality, but they're doing it up in northwestern New Jersey, too. They're they're forcing it throughout the whole state. the government demands this uh type of a living quarters and if you have the land I we're we're just gonna have to the court's going to make us comply with it. Okay. Um any other comments from the board?

No, you said we'll we'll be able to see the plan. My my thing is there's a school the next block over and the traffic is already a nightmare. Miss Saunders, this does this plan that that the that's before the board and and the board's being asked to adopt is just outlining for the court. Basically, this is how Piscataway intends to comply with the fourth round over the next I believe it's 10 years. Um, okay. So, the the stuff that's already being built or or the board's approved

goes that's why the I think Wyatt was trying to show the different colors. Um, some of this is proposed and like anything else, they'll have to come before this board for site plan approval with traffic experts and all that. And the, you know, each project the board will get its opportunity to, you know, weigh in and and and comment. um as those projects are are brought to bear by each applicant and owner. These that we're talking about tonight that we've had on this chart, these are already in the process. This is like the fourth rung for for adjustments and amendments to these that are already on the on the planning on the chart to be to be approved tonight. I think you said this is the fourth round for the ones that we're talking about. So the board adopted a fourth round, right? And why I jump in if I if I get this wrong. The board had already adopted a fourth round which had 300 plus units.

The courts basically came in and said, "Nope, it's 500 plus." So we have to have a plan that reflects the number the courts imposed upon us. So, in order to find the additional units, we had to amend this plan and add in these additional sites to get our numbers up. Um, so that's why it's an amendment to the fourth round. Um, and we would go back to the court and say, look, before March 16th, we adopted this amendment. the numbers

comply with the court's mandate so that we are not found to be um you know in contempt of court so to speak for not complying and then the normal development process still takes place for anything that this board hasn't already approved

I guess to clarify the round is kind of confused and the round only refers it's not the round of revision to the plan it refers refers to a time period. So since the Mount Laurel doctrine was passed in the 1970s, this is now the fourth round. They're typically 10-year periods. Um but in prior rounds, the duration of that 10-year period was extended because um of just the organization of uh COA at the time, which has now been abolished. But just to be clear, this isn't the fourth time this plan has been proposed. This is just an amendment from for the plan that we're saying how units are going to be provided for the fourth fourth round period which is this oncoming 10-year period of 2025 until 2035. As far as the numbers are concerned, we're just for example the 100% affordable housing site. This plan is only committing to a number to say that the town is fully complying with the plan. That's why it says up to 83 units. So 83 is not a hard set number and like I said there's not there has been no application before the board regarding uh this pro I mean there has been a prior application but not based on the density that's proposed in this plan um and the town will be working through concepts with the developer and the property owner of this site that obviously would go through planning board review um etc. And that's just one component of the compliance mechanisms of the plan.

The Macedonia site included in this plan. Correct. It is. It is included in this fourth round. Yes. Correct. Okay. I think I saw someone raising their hand uh in in the public. No, no, that that was me and I appreciate the clarification and you know. Okay. Go ahead, Mr. Etaria. I apologize. Um, this is helpful information. Um, you know, from what I'm hearing clearly is that these are proposed sites that still have to come and improve and all all the steps that need to go with it, but this is just an early analysis of where we could potentially put something. Am I understand that correctly? Is the short the short version of it?

Yes. It would be the township is committing to providing the affordable units for these sites to meet its statemandated obligations. So I guess to go back further in the history, the the obligation of 539, that was part of the process of when the fourth round law was adopted in 2024. Essentially, each town was assigned its affordable housing obligation, the number of units it had to build during the fourth round. When that came forth, that was produced by the DCA, the Department of Community Affairs. They produced a report that essentially was based on um population projections, these different factors. Like the mayor said, some of it was based on the land capacity, but as the mayor was said that there were some errors in the methodology of that process, and that's when the township had an opportunity. Um,

hey Wyatt, come on. You're color coding it there. It was a major screw- up by DCA. Come on, just lay the cards on the table. Yeah. So, they

You're being you're being polite there. So yeah, the the 539 was actually not the town's original assigned number. We had um gone back and produced our own report and that number was essentially negotiated and and brought down based on our own report um to the obligation for the town of 539 for the 10-year period. And then once that number was committed to that's when the town could put forth these different compliance mechanisms. So that's what the town was doing over the course of last year. Um they had to adopt a plan by June of uh June 30th, 2025 producing sites to meet that obligation of 539. And to go back to the prior plan that the obligation remained at 539, but at that time we had conducted a vacant land adjustment which essentially divided the projects into realistic development potential. That's the RDP of what the town could produce of 316. And then unmet need was saying whatever was that 539 number minus the 316. We were providing different zoning mechanisms that could capture what was left over based on that plan. When that was submitted to the program in the court, that's what ended up being challenged um by Eminem and Fair Share Housing Center. And that was negotiations that the township carried out over the course of the fall. Um, and like I said, wasn't able to fully settle with Eminem. So that's why their property site has been included on the plan at that density, but that is a density that's been negotiated because that site wasn't originally included in the plan from last year. Um, and as I'll repeat what the mayor said, these are very tight deadlines. To put it in perspective, the town had until the end of 2025 to negotiate and work with any challenger, which was Eminem and Fairshare Housing Center, which we

diligently did. And then we put forth this proposed amendment, and we are working with Eminem and Fair Share. This plan that I propo uh went over tonight is what for um the fair share housing center, the court, the program have all signed off on concerning that the town continues its diligence of negotiations with Eminem which at this point in time um they are on board with uh this plan. So this is what the township is proposing to move forward with and has the backing um of the court and the program. But yeah, to put it in perspective, I know it's a tight turnaround because these are all to emphasize these are all statemandated deadlines. This isn't something the town is pushing through. These are all deadlines that are required by the amended fair housing act to meet. And one of them being this March deadline is to adopt any proposed amendments to the plan, which we've done. And it wasn't until um we received essentially a letter of continued um immunity to builder's remedy lawsuits from the program in the court at the I think it was February 20th is when that letter was issued that decision was issued. So like I said these are very tight timelines that have been going forth and the township has been diligently working through the challenges um to come up with this plan.

Watt I appreciate the explanation. And you know, I express the same concern as the mayor, but thank you for walking us through it. Yes. So, Phillip, uh, and the other board members, just so you know, there was one judge hailing 300 plus towns in the entire state. Wow. That's how screwed up this whole let this this law is. Why did it come to um come to a head like this? Why was it so um compacted together and came to a deadline like this? It was the way that the the law was written with these deadlines. Um

this is the law that was written and signed in law by the governor at the time. And so it landed in the lap of the new administration

and DCA in charge of saying, "Oh, well, you have XYZ." They never bothered to look at Google Earth to see if it was developable or not. And they even wanted on the interchanges at 287 for us to put housing on the interchange, meaning where the ramps are. I mean, the the original plan that the state wanted, it was four times as worse. All I know is that when all this comes fruition, there's going to be a lot of upset people in town when you see all this housing being built. Well, they need to see it before it's actually being built.

Yeah, there'll be as as Mr. Mr. Barley said there'll be applications before the board, but the problem is is the courts are mandating Piscataway and 300 plus other towns to it. And that's the problem. Yep. That's what it is. Wyatt, you want to unshare your screen? Yes. All right. Can I just ask one more clarifying question? the properties that were shared on that list, are those all um spots that are redeveloped or or you know currently open space that are would be developed?

There are different stages. So I try in the tri wasn't sure if it was clear but the it's divided between proposed and completed projects. So some of these projects have already been completed and the units are built. So this isn't any new development that the town is saying they're going to build. there already existing affordable units that were built since the last round of affordable housing or we're just simply crediting them to the fourth round. Others are in different stages of development. So, some of them just simply went through uh planning board approval um and yeah, planning board approval and might be under construction. Others are in the very early stages of the redevelopment process. Um so, they're all at different stages. Some of them are very early proposed. For example,

the the Macedonia site is obviously at the concept stage. Others have already been completely built like um the William Street town homes have already been constructed. Thank you. The only reason I ask mayor is I wonder if there's an opportunity to pull green acres funding into preserving some of the areas if as a way to preserve some spaces. But a conversation for another day. I'm just curious of where the stages are at. Thank you, Wyatt. Are there any other questions from the board? Are we do we have are we ready to open it up to the public? You should open it to the public, Madam Chair. Okay.

Uh members of the public, um you've heard the testimony on this issue. Uh there's anyone in the public wishing to ask a question, you can raise your hand at this time. Seeing no uh response at this time, it's closed to the public.

So, Madam Chair, unless there's any last minute questions of Mr. grant. Um the process at this point would be a a motion to adopt the amended fourth round housing element and fair share plan as presented by Harbor Consultants, which is the board's affordable housing um experts and as testified to by Mr. Grant. Would someone on the board like to make the motion as it was set forth by Mr. Barlo? Madame Chair, Don Corker, and I'll make that motion. Do I have a second?

Reverend Kenny, I'll second that motion. Roll call, please. Mayor Waller. Unfortunately, yes. Miss Corkran, yes. Miss Saunders, I'm with the mayor. Reverend Kenny, yes. Mr. Atkins, yes. Mr. Ahmed, yes. I'm with the mayor. Thank you, Mr. Etcharia. Yes. And Madame Chair, yes.

And Madam Chair, because as I indicated, we have to get this uh resolution adopted prior to the March 16th deadline. I did out of an abundance of caution and because of the time frames prepare a resolution memorializing um the motion that was just adopted. I believe Miss Saunders has Saunders, you have that resolution. Okay. That's not the retention one, right? Okay. No, they're all sent together. You have it. Yeah, because I have one that has four. So, I'm trying to figure out which one it is. Yeah, you could just read it off the agenda.

Okay. It's okay. I think I have it. Okay. Um, Madame Chairman, I'd like to memorialize the resolution for the adoption of the amended fourth round housing element and fair share plan. Do I have a second? Reverend Kenny, I'll second that. Madam Chair, thank you. Roll call. Mayor Waller, yes. Council, excuse me, Miss Corkran, yes. Miss Sanders, yes. Reverend Kenny, yes. Mr. Atkins, yes. Mr. Jamemed, yes. Mr. Edaria. Yes. And Madame Chair. Yes. Approved. All right. We're returning to our agenda tonight. We have another matter under discussion.

Yeah. Madame Chair, this board had previously found the uh block 2011, lot 101. Block 202, lot 42.02, 2, also known as 1179 and 776 South 2nd Street to be an area areas in need of redevelopment. Um, at this juncture um uh what's being sought is to authorize foresight planning to prepare a redevelopment plan um in keeping with that designation that it's an area in need of redevelopment. Mr. Barlo, just for the board members, this is at the end of South Second Street that backs up to Denellan.

U this is where the town there's been a lot of problems there, illegal dumping and um arson fires and some of the old structures there. So, this would authorize Mr. Clark of Foresight Planning to um see what would work best back there. Obviously better than what the mayor just indicated is there. So this is to authorize a redevelopment uh plan. Yes, ma'am. Does anyone do what members of the board after even uh the premise set forth by the mayor? Would someone like to make a motion?

Madam Chair Don, I'll make a motion that we retain foresight planning to prepare the red plan. Do I have a second? It looks very I'll second it. Thank you. Roll call, please. Mayor Waller, yes. Miss Corpin, yes. Miss Saunders, yes. Reverend Henny, yes. Mr. Atkins, yes. Mr. Ahmed, yes. Mr. Edaria, yes. And Madame Chair, yes. And again, I prepared a resolution so that uh foresight could start working on it uh without delay that I believe Miss Saunders has. Madam Chair, Miss Saunders,

I do hold Yes. One second. Okay. Um, Madam Chair, I'd like to moralize a resolution further retention of Foresight Planning LLC to prepare a redevelopment plan for block 201.01 and block 2012 lot 42.02. Uh, do I have a second? Revenue County. I'll second that. Roll call, please. Mayor Waller. Yes. Miss Corkran, yes. Miss Wanders, yes. Reverend Kenny, yes. Mr. Atkins, yes. Mr. Ahmed, yes. Mr. Edaria, yes.
