What this means
The adopted plan outlines Summit’s affordable housing approach for the 2025–2035 period. The six reviewed ordinances would create or modify zones for affordable, senior, mixed-use, inclusionary, and townhouse development, including requirements for 20% affordable-housing set-asides in several overlay zones. The Planning Board’s consistency findings do not themselves state that the ordinances were finally enacted.
