The adopted plan sets the township’s updated framework for meeting its affordable-housing obligations. The board’s referrals advance proposed code changes, but the minutes do not show final Township Committee action on those ordinances. For Ordinances 11-2026 and 12-2026, the board said the proposals align with the new Housing Element but not the current Land Use Element, which it intends to update after state compliance certification.
