Planning Board Meeting - March 5, 2026

The Municipality of Princeton Planning Board held a meeting on March 5, 2026, primarily focused on reviewing and recommending several affordable housing ordinances for consistency with the master plan. The board discussed multiple ordinances establishing new affordable housing districts and overlays, including AH16, AH13, AH17, AH19, and updates to the affordable housing chapter of the municipal code. These ordinances aim to facilitate the development of affordable housing units ranging from 16 to 35 units per district, with specific zoning, height, parking, and design requirements. The board unanimously found each ordinance substantially consistent with the master plan and recommended their approval to the municipal council, which was scheduled to hold public hearings on March 9, 2026. The meeting also included procedural matters such as approval of previous meeting minutes and public comments expressing support for the housing initiatives. The board noted that the zoning map updates reflecting these changes would be undertaken following the ordinance adoptions.
