A 213 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Exempts contaminated and industrially-zoned sites from affordable housing rules.

This bill (A213) exempts contaminated sites (designated by NJDEP) and industrially-zoned land from New Jersey's affordable housing requirements under the Fair Housing Act (P.L.1985, c.222). It prevents municipalities from imposing fair share housing obligations or charging fees on developers for projects on these sites, including remediation or development. The policy change directly affects developers working on such properties and municipalities that would otherwise collect fees. By removing these financial disincentives, the bill aims to encourage remediation of contaminated land and industrial development without triggering additional affordable housing mandates.
