>> Thanks very much. Um, next up we have announcements. Um, Justin, anything from from you or and if not, uh, any other board members? >> Uh, Madam Chair, no, I do not have any
announcements. Um, I did just receive an email from Miss Pearlmutter, so I'm going to send her my link so she could join us. >> Okay, great. Thank you. Um, I don't have any announcements either. I'm not seeing anybody waving at me. So, um, we will
move on to subcommittee reports. Um, and I don't think we have any of those either. So, um, let's move on to minutes. Uh, we have three sets of minutes from regular meetings. The first set is from July
17th, 2025. Are there any suggested edits or questions? Um, >> Madam Chair, I know that you had a few uh edits that you had requested. Did you want to read those into the record or show it? Um,
>> you know, and I I I don't First of all, I know I had suggestions for two sets of minutes. I think this was one of them. >> It was. Yes. >> Um, and but I don't remember exactly. So, if you do, then yes, I would like
them read into the record. And if not, I can find the email that I sent. >> I am pulling them up right now. I should have them. Yes, I have them. So, uh if you want me, I can uh go ahead and take care of that. >> Thank you.
>> All right. So, uh the two requested uh or suggested edits are as follows. on page eight, the last paragraph, uh changed the uh sentence uh stating, "Chair Wilson uh stated that skip laurel is is a non-native plant that grows
rapidly if not maintained. She she suggested that uh the applicant consider replacing skip laurel with ink berry glabra uh as it is a shorter and more native shrub. Um the suggested edit is um
to say quote uh she suggested that the applicant consider replacing skip laurel with ink berry uh elix glabra as it is a shorter native shrub. Uh so that's the first edit or uh change and then on page
11 uh the last sentence omit the word this. So it reads quote announced that the hearing of this application will be postponed end quote and those are the only >> if I was omitting it this it said this 'the'. So I said omit this so that it
says the hearing or whatever but there was an extra word that I it was just a typo kind of thing. >> Right. Right. Well we appreciate you catching that. So, uh, those edits will be made, uh, by tomorrow and, uh, those minutes will be, uh, ready if adopted. >> Okay. Thank you.
>> You're welcome. >> Um, so w with those edits and I'm sorry that I didn't add up them at my own fingertips here. Would have been easier. Uh, would someone like to move those minutes? >> So moved. >> Thank you, Mr. McGawan. And, uh,
Councilman Cohen, you're seconding. >> Okay. All in favor, please say I. >> I. >> I. Any opposed? Okay. Um, and next up we have minutes from January 8th, 2026.
I think I also had minor edits to this. Am I Is that correct, Mr. Foot? >> What was the date on what was the date on these? >> January 8th. >> Uh, yes, there are a couple of um suggested edits.
And >> and they are >> all right. Let me pull them up. Um, let's see here. Under announcements on page three, uh, the sentence, quote, "Chair Curry Wilson shared her adoration for Miss Capazolei." Change that to
Cheer Wilson shared her admiration for Miss Capazolei and appreciation for her service. End quote. >> Adoration is not too strong a word, but I'm pretty sure I didn't use it. whatever you feel comfortable with. >> Thank you for that.
>> Should avoid >> their edit I I asked for in those minutes um because there've been some confusion. I asked that my name for signatures and such um show as um Louise Curry Wilson including my original
surname. Um but I don't need to be referred to during meetings as Chair Curry Wilson or in the minutes as Chair Curry Wilson. So, I just wanted to to make that clear in these minutes, too. And sorry for any confusion that I that
I caused. Uh, with those edits, would someone like to move these minutes? >> I'll move them. >> Thanks, uh, Owen. And a second. >> Second. >> Thank you, Claudia. Uh, all in favor, please say I. I. I.
>> Any opposed? Okay. Um, and next up we have um, >> and sorry, sorry to interrupt, Madam Chair. I just wanted to make the, uh, uh, >> I guess it's a late announcement that uh, with th with the adoption of those
minutes, uh, we are caught up. Um, so we have >> Well, not quite because we have we have February 5th, 2026 right now. >> Oh, apologies that you know what I jumped on that >> and then we will be
But yes, I >> I was overly excited. I apologize. >> Don't blame you for >> Don't blame me for that because it is very exciting. >> Minutes of February 5th, 2026. >> Yeah. And the staff they that that took a lot of work.
>> It was it was a ton of work. And as someone who has done many minutes in previous lives, it is a slog. It's tough. >> It's a lot of work. So yeah. Um, minutes of February 5th, 2026. Any edits or
suggestions? And if not, would someone like to move them? >> I'll move them. >> Thank you, David. Is there a second? >> Second. >> Thanks, Claudia. All in favor, please say I. >> I.
>> Any opposed? Okay. And just um I know I've said this before, but the reason I don't ask for abstensions is because if you weren't at the meeting, you're automatically listed as abstaining.

>> Mr. McGawan. >> Yes, >> Miss Pearl Mutter. >> Yes, >> Miss Swimmer. >> Yes, >> Mr. Taylor. >> Yes. >> Miss Wilson Anderson? >> Yes. >> Chair Wilson? >> Yes.
>> Motion carried. >> Thank you. Um, next we have um a series of ordinances. The first uh excuse me, ordinance referrals for master plan consistency. The first is ordinance 2026-08,
an ordinance of the municipality of Princeton amending chapter B17A entitled land use and zoning of the municipality of Princeton to create the affordable housing district 16 AH16
in furtherance of the fair housing act. Um Justin, you wanna >> speak to this or or Nathan, is that what? >> Yes. So So Justin is taking a well-deserved break from uh these uh ordinance um uh presentations.
>> Um so uh yes, so I will be presenting these this evening and answering questions. Justin is uh is here in case there are questions uh about development u of the ordinances uh that uh I'm not able to uh to answer but hopefully I'll be able to uh to carry the uh carry this
through. Um so with that said uh I'm just going to share my screen now uh so that that's done. Um share that. Okay. Um see so can everybody see um see the overhead image?
>> Yes. So >> okay. All right. Um so thank you madam chair. Um and uh what I'll start with is just reiterating what Justin discussed during the previous two meetings. Uh this is the third and final of three meetings where the board will be reviewing fourth round affordable
housing ordinances for master plan consistency. Uh these ordinances set up by our fourth round housing element and fair share plan are required to be adopted before the March 15th deadline that was set up by the state uh for us to adopt all the ordinances related to the fourth round. Uh of course uh I'll
note here that this doesn't preclude amendments to these ordinances being made after March 15th uh if such amendments are uh determined to be necessary uh by council. Uh the ordinances before the board tonight are for four resonings, one overlay
district. Uh all of which are intended to allow for the realistic opportunity uh for the construction of affordable housing. Uh the final ordinance the board will review is for the replacement of article 12 entitled afford uh affordable housing of chapter T10B of
the municipal code. Uh the board's task tonight, as it has been during the last two meetings, is to review the ordinances for consistency with the adopted master plan uh which does include the fourth round housing element and fair share plan uh which for the sake of brevity I'll refer to as the uh
fourth round uh fourth round HFSP. Uh from here on in uh regardless of your determination of consistency, uh these ordinances uh will go to the council for hearings at their next meeting on March 9th. Um, so I'll turn now to the first
ordinance that the board is reviewing, uh, that Chair Wilson has already introduced and will summarize the memo I wrote dated February 27th, 2026. Ordinance 2026-08 establishes the affordable housing district 16, AH16, uh, for two lots at
13 Chestnut Street. These being block 30.02, lots 39.01 and 39.02. and you can see them in the two uh reddish shades on the uh the screen. It's the these two properties uh here. Uh the ordinance was ordinance was originally introduced to
council on February 9th and was going to be reviewed by the board on February 19th. However, the council uh reintroduced the ordinance with several substantive changes on February 23rd, which we were aware of uh before the uh board's February 19th meeting. Hence why
it was not reviewed at that time. Uh so this map uh again is the overhead image of uh the site. This is from appendix O of the fourth round HFSP. Uh the property subject to the resoning are developed with a vacant building
that used to house a branch of the Princeton Fire Department. Uh this building includes 2.5 stories toward the front of the property uh and a one-story addition that was added later uh to the rear of that uh of that building. Uh and there is a paved parking area in the
rear. You can't really see it from this image. Uh uh it looks like uh CCH did not uh uh put the uh opacity up uh on the uh on this um uh these uh on this image. Um and so we can't really see
below that uh these two red uh shades, but you'll just have to trust me that that's what's uh that's what's there. Um both properties are located in the R4 residential zone of the former burrow uh and are also in the affordable housing overlay one AHO1.
The properties are adjacent to residential uses uh to the uh to the north uh and uh um and to the west across uh Chestnut Street. Lot 39.01 borders a residential use to the south beyond which are mixed commercial and
residential uses along Nassau Street. Uh down here that's Nassau Street and I should mention that this is uh Chestnut Street uh going north south. Um to the east are commercial and residential uses.
Uh now to the ordinance itself uh it requires a 100% affordable housing development consisting of a minimum of 16 units and an accessory publicly uh accessory publicly accessible community room on the ground floor fronting uh Chestnut Street. uh residential units
are permitted on all floors. Um so what I'll I also wanted to share this um this page from uh the appendix uh from the fourth round uh HFSP. Uh this is not the uh the concept plan. This is not the what the ordinance is
based on. There was a later uh there were later changes to this concept plan but it is roughly showing what uh is intended for uh for this site. Um so this this uh here is the two and a half story
uh front facing uh portion of the property that is more uh historic. Uh this is not showing the one-story addition to the rear um because that is not intended to uh uh to stay. Uh but the 2 and a half story
uh portion uh that uh uh front uh fronts along Chestnut Street uh that you uh was a firehouse building uh must be retained and adaptive adaptively reused per the ordinance. Uh the one-story addition in the rear of the building can be removed. Uh the ordinance permits a maximum
height of four stories and 48 ft. Maximum impervious coverage is 90%. Sideyard setbacks are required but provided in such a way that permits some portions of the building to reach the side property line. Uh and that's uh that's intended to get this effect of having these little steps uh stepbacks
of the uh the building from that side property line uh that would be to the uh the north. Um one thing I will say is that in my memo there was a recommendation regarding the length of individual projections in the setbacks. Uh this has already been done in the amended ordinance that was reintroduced
at council. uh half a parking uh and then moving on, half a parking space is required for each residential unit with up to 50% of spaces allowed to be designed as compact spaces. Landscaping buffers of minimum 3 ft are required where side and rear yards are required
uh and not needed for circulation. Uh so in my professional opinion, the ordinance is consistent with the master plan. Uh it is of course called for in the municipalities adopted fourth round HFSP. It also meets master plan goals to create more housing in Princeton in different forms for different income
levels. Uh it meets a land use goal of the plan to enhance the existing pattern of land use. Uh particularly by strengthening mixed use centers in town. This is close to Nassau Street. Additionally, it meets mobility goals of the plan to include reducing inbound commuting commuting and encouraging
shifts from single occupancy vehicle to low or zero emissions mobility options such as walking, cycling, and transit. Utility goals and natural resource conservation goals such as accommodating future growth while minimizing adverse impacts to the natural environment are supported by repurposing an already
developed uh parcel. Um so I will turn uh turn it back to you uh madam chair uh for any questions and discussion from the the board. Thank you. >> Thank you Mr. Foot. Um
any questions um from board members? Mr. Cohen? Uh, not a question, but I think the master plan somewhere talks about uh preserving neighborhood character as a as a goal as well. And I just wanted to
emphasize that preserving that existing firehouse that's fronting on Chestnut Street we felt was very important and part of what makes it a good project. So, >> wholeheartedly. Thank you for that, Jack. I just wanted to add my support.
That's exactly the position that I was about to take. When we talk about compatibility, consistency with the master plan, the issues that we've laid out are obviously appropriate. But one of the issues that comes up over and
over again is the consistency of neighborhoods, maintaining the image, maintaining, if you will, the feeling for Princeton. And the suggestion is always made Somehow you're talking about
progress, stack houses, town houses, multiple units, things that don't sound like they're in the image. And so I think it would be good public relations as well as make sense if we took David Cohen's point or the issue of image or
feeling whenever we're talking about key principles of Princeton. I think that would be in the best interest of the board and its image and it also makes sense to do so. >> Thank you, Jack. Um, Freddy Pearl Mutter.
>> Yeah, I actually have a question for Jerry. Um, Jerry, I was on the board of PCH for a number for several well for a fair number of years, but I got off about the time that I joined planning board. So, I've been off it now for about about two years or so. Um, can I vote? >> Yes.
>> Okay. Okay. Any other questions or comments? Um thoughts from board members before I invite comments from the public. Okay, we have six members of the public
here now. Um and um I'll just repeat something I started to say earlier. This is not a hearing on this ordinance. Um it is a review the board does for consistency with the master plan, but we do invite
and welcome comments um from the public if there are thoughts you'd like to share. Um so uh and the the um formal hearing on these ordinances will take place before council a little
later this month. Um do we know what date that is? the nth. It's this coming Monday >> on the 9th. Okay, great. Thank you. Um, so any members uh of the public want to address the board? Now's the time to
virtually raise your hand. And I am not Oh, there we go. Um, Ed Truscelli, would you bring um him over, Nathan or Justin or Tyrone or whoever is in charge
of transfers? Welcome, Mr. Truscelli. Um, we'll need to There you go. Hi. Welcome. Um, Mr. Swear you in Even though this is not a formal public hearing because that's what we do. Go
ahead, Jerry. >> Ed, if you could raise your right hand, do you swear or affirm the testimony about Give Me Be the Truth? >> Yes, I do. >> So, sworn affirmed. >> Go right ahead. >> Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you, members of the planning board. I just want to express on behalf of Princeton
Community Housing and our board of trustees our great excitement for this project for uh many of the reasons David and uh Mr. Taylor mentioned, David Cohen and Mr. Taylor mentioned. We are very excited uh to work collaboratively with
the uh community and the municipality to make this happen and uh provide some more uh homes in a wonderful town that Princeton is. and uh we just wanted to express our appreciation. So, thank you. >> Um thank you and back at you. We
appreciate your work personally and the work of your organization. Um it's good for the town. Um okay. Any other members of the public wish to address the board? Now is the
time to virtually raise your hand. Okay. Seeing none, I will um close the public comment um part of this uh ordinance review and invite any final
thoughts or a motion on this ordinance. Presumably a motion to find the ordinance substantially consistent with the master plan and recommend approval to council. I will move that we find the motion
substantially consistent with the master plan and move it to council. >> Thank you, Mr. O'Donnell. Who would like to second? Thanks, Mr. McGawan. Um, Miss Battle, will you call the role, please? >> Certainly. Mr. Bingheimimer,
>> yes. >> Councilman Cohen, >> yes. >> Mayor Freda, >> yes. >> Mr. McGawan, >> yes. Mr. O'Donnell, >> yes. >> Miss Pearlmutter, >> yes. >> Miss Swimmer, >> yes.
>> Mr. Taylor, >> yes. >> Chair Wilson, >> yes. >> Motion carried. >> Thank you. Next up, we have ordinance 2026-11, an ordinance of the municipality of Princeton amending chapter 10, excuse
me, chapter T10B entitled land use of the municipality of Princeton to create the affordable housing district 13 AH13 in furtherance of the Fair Housing Act. Mr. Foot. >> Thank you, Madam Chair. Uh, once again,
I'll share my screen at the start so I don't have to fiddle with it uh in the middle of the presentation. All right. And that should be sharing an overhead image of the site. And if anybody can't see it, just let me know. Okay. Very good. >> Um, so as with the last ordinance, I'll
summarize the memo I wrote. Uh, this one also dated February 27th, 2026. Ordinance 2026-11 establishes the affordable housing district 13, AH13 for two lots at 1133 State Road and 60 Mount Lucas Road.
these being block 7004 lots one and two. The ordinance was introduced to council on February 23rd and will have a public hearing at council next Monday, March 9th. Um so this is the map that was included uh in the memo. Uh this is appendix L of
the fourth round housing element and fair share plan. Uh the properties subject to the resoning are currently developed with commercial buildings. Uh lot one is developed with a bank building with a drive-thru that you can see at the very southern end of the lot. a two-story uh medical office building
and a one-story uh commercial building. I will note that there is a slope running through the center of the property that does uh make it look like a shorter building from the Mount Lucas side of the the property. Um lot two is developed with a three-story office
building that also has that shorter look because of the slope uh from Mount Lucas Road. Uh both properties have parking areas and both are located in the B2 business zone of the former township. Uh lot 2 is adjacent to a shopping center to the north. Uh to the east, west, southeast,
and further north of the property are residential uses uh that you can see uh on the uh the overhead image as well. And then to the south are municipal uses. Um the the first of which you come across going south is the Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad building. And
then beyond that, as Cherry um sorry, is the uh municipal building. The ordinance permits up to 82 dwelling units and requires a comprehensive development of the site that will include multif family residential units above the ground floor uh or street
level, town houses along Mount Lucas Road, retail sales and services and restaurants uh of which there must be a minimum 2,500 square ft of floor area on the street level facing uh State Road and offices including medical offices
and urgent care facilities restricted to the ground floor and second story uh of which there must be minimum of 9,000 square ft of floor area. Uh the ordinance requires a minimum set aside of 20% of residential units as affordable uh with a minimum number of
16 units and uh there's there was no concept plan uh included in the appendix with the fourth round HFSP with this one. Uh and that's why the uh overhead image I'm just going to leave that up uh for now. Uh the proposed ordinance permits a maximum height of five stories and 65
ft. Um I'll note that that's as measured from the state road uh curb line. Um and so that that 65 ft is from again from the state road uh curb line. So from Mount Lucas Road uh you're not actually getting the full effect of that uh 65
ft. Uh there is uh an enclosed penthouse level uh for residential amenities with a maximum height of 11 uh and that's a rooftop I should say a rooftop penthouse level for residential amenities with maximum height of 11 ft. uh that is permitted. Uh town houses facing Mount
Lucas Road are uh permitted a maximum height of two and a half stories and 35 feet. Uh maximum impervious coverage is 95%. The ordinance requires 8/10 or 0.8 parking space for each residential unit, one parking space for each 400 ft of
retail sales and service, one parking space for each five seats and restaurant, and one parking space for each 300 ft of office space. Bicycle parking is required to follow the existing municipal code and 25% of car parking in a parking structure may be compact spaces. The ordinance permits
the following signs and this is kind of a long list so bear with me. um two building mounted multif family identification signs, four office building identification signs, including one facade sign and three canopy mounted signs, one single-sided facade sign identifying the multif family building
lobby entrance along Mount Lucas Road, one canopy mounted sign and one projecting sign per retail tenant, one canopy mounted sign along Mount Lucas Road, and two building mounted parking garage entrance signs, one facing St. Road and the other facing Mount Lucas
Road. And again, I probably should have mentioned this, but this this is Mount Lucas Road and this is State Road. Um you you can kind of see the uh the the lettering there, but that is saying State Road on that side, and that is Mount Lucas Road on the other uh eastern side of the properties.
Uh one one other thing I'll also mention uh because I forgot to with the uh the last ordinance uh review uh is that uh any any site plans any uh development plans uh that arise from uh from for this uh set of properties out of this
resoning uh would need to come before the planning board uh for review uh for site plan uh approval. >> Um in my professional opinion the ordinance is consistent with the master plan. It is called for in the municipalities adopted fourth round
HFSP. It also meets master plan goals to create more housing in Princeton in different forms for different income levels. It meets uh mobility goals of the plan uh to include reducing inbound commuting and encouraging shifts from single occupancy vehicle travel to low or zero emissions mobility options. uh
utility goals and natural resource conservation goals uh are also uh met uh such as accommodating future growth while minimizing adverse impacts uh to the natural environment. And uh with that I will wrap that up and uh turn it
back over uh to you madam chair. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thanks. Um comments from board members. David, >> I'm gonna make a similar comment to the last ordinance in that the town houses
that are along Mount Lucas that are in closest proximity to the single family residential are quite modest at 2 and a half stories and 35 um feet in height. That's essentially exactly the same bulk of
zoning that's permitted in the s single family district there. So the buildings won't, you know, be towering over the neighbors across the street or anything like that. And again, uh just a nod to
preserving uh neighborhood character while we while we meet our housing needs. >> Thank you for that. Um, and I just want to mention I I certainly am not suggesting that there be any changes to the ordinance to reflect
this, but when the site planning um is done for this property, um I just think given the proximity of that really tough intersection situation there at Mount
Lucas and and um 206 and whatever all the other roads are named in that immediate vicinity and and even um Trhune. Um we need to look really really careful
keen attention to detail for pedestrian safety um uh and pedestrian amenities because that's a pretty dicey intersection right now if you're on foot. Um, and with more people living there, um, you know, it'll
be more so. So, um, or put, you know, put more people in the intersection, um, hopefully. So, just wanted to mention that. And, and maybe also with some attention to um, extra soundproofing
because a lot of people, you know, 206 carries a lot of truck traffic and when they um, are going up, you know, through that uh, stoplight and um up the hill. Um it it can get pretty noisy.
That's all. Um other other uh comments from board members or thoughts before I invite public comment? >> Um okay. Uh if you are here as a member
of the public and wish to address the board, now is the time to virtually raise your hand to indicate you would like to do so. I'm not seeing any hands go up, so I'll close the public comment and invite any final thoughts from board
members or a motion. Uh presumably that motion being to find this ordinance substantially consistent with the master plan and recommend its approval to Princeton Council. Mr. Cohen,
>> so moved. >> Yes. I move that we find this ordinance consistent with the master plan and recommend approval to council. >> Second. >> Thank you. And thank you, Mr. Bodyimer. Um Miss Battle, would you call the role, please?
Certainly. Mr. Bodingheimer. >> Yes. >> Councilman Cohen. >> Yes. >> Mayor Frereda. >> Yes. >> Mr. McGowan. >> Yes. Can you hear me? I lost my camera. Okay. >> Mr. O'Donnell. >> Yes. >> Miss Pearlmutter.
>> Yes. >> Miss. >> Yes. >> Mr. Taylor. >> Yes. >> Chair Wilson. >> Yes. >> Motion carried. >> Thank you. Next up, we have ordinance 2026-12. an ordinance of the municipality of
Princeton amending chapter B17A entitled land use and zoning of the municipality of Princeton to create the affordable housing district 17 AH17 in furtherance of the Fair Housing Act. Nathan,
>> thank you, Madam Chair. And once again, I will share my screen at the beginning. All right, there we go. I'm going to assume that that is up. >> Yes, it is. >> Very good. Okay. Very good. Um, thank you again, Madam Chair. Uh, so I will once again summarize the memo. This one
was also, uh, surprisingly enough, uh, dated February 27th, 2026. Uh, ordinance 2026-12 establishes the affordable housing district 17, AH17, for a single lot at 27 North Harrison
Street, uh, this being block 32.01, lot 167. The ordinance was introduced to council on February 23rd and will have a public hearing at council next Monday, March 9th. So this overhead image is from appendix
L of the fourth round HFSP. It is a municipallyowned lot that is developed with a two-story building that used to house a branch of the Princeton Fire Department uh but is currently utilized by the Princeton Department of Public Works as a maintenance facility uh which is intended to be relocated to
Princeton's River Road uh property. uh and that uh I'll just mention uh has been included uh that that idea has been included in the Princeton master plan uh elements dating back to 199697. Uh the lot is located in the R3
residential zone of the former burrow and is also in the affordable housing overlay 2, AHO2. The property is adjacent to the Queenston common uh Queenston commons residential development to the north and east. Um to the west and northwest of the property
are residential uses. To the south are a mix of commercial uses uh offices and retail along the Nassau Street corridor. The lots immediately south of the subject property are part of a different site. Uh the whole earth site that is also listed in Princeton's fourth round planned uh plan. Uh and I believe that
one uh that ordinance was reviewed by the uh board at the last meeting on February 19th. >> That's correct. So, this ordinance, much like the first one we saw tonight, requires a 100% affordable housing development consisting of a minimum of 34 units in
this case, which can either be multiple dwellings or town houses. Uh, and for those multiple dwellings, residential units are permitted on all floors. The ordinance permits a maximum height of three stories and 36 feet within 25 ft of the front property line. So right
about there uh you would have uh no more than 36 ft or three and three stories and for the remainder of the property a maximum height of four stories and 48 ft is permitted. Uh maximum impervious coverage is permitted at 90%. Yard
setbacks are required for the front, north side, south side and rear uh or east side of the property. For the proposed ordinance, one parking space is required for each residential unit and landscaping buffers of minimum five feet are required where side and rear yards
are required. So, uh once again, in my professional opinion, the ordinance is consistent with the master plan. Uh as with all of the um uh the resoning ordinances, uh it is called for in the municipalities
adopted fourth round HFSP. It also meets master plan goals to create more housing in Princeton in different forms for different income levels. It meets the land use goal of the plan uh to enhance the existing pattern of land use particularly by strengthening mixed use centers in town. And again, this is
along NASA uh this is near Nassau Street uh at that corner of Nassau Street and um Harrison Street, North Harrison. Um, additionally, it meets mobility goals of the plan to include reducing inbound commuting and encouraging shifts from single occupancy vehicle travel to
low or zero emissions mobility options. Uh, utility goals and natural resource conservation goals such as accommodating future growth while minimizing adverse impacts to the natural environment are supported by repurposing an already developed parcel. Uh, and I will also uh again I'll preempt the neighborhood
design uh character um that 25 foot set uh in that uh with that 25 foot um 3 foot um height being three stories and 36 ft um that helps to match that those residential uses uh in the surrounding
area. Whereas that 4T and um so sorry four stories and 48 ft further back um with that setback that's uh that helps keep the neighborhood character um as um as it is with these but with the uh
these changes this um this development that will help enhance the the housing um or the uh the municipality. Thank you, Madam Chair. I'll turn it back over to you for questions and discussion. >> Okay. Um, any questions from board members?
>> Yeah, could I I ask one question? The the memoir >> says a minimum of 35 units, but I think we just heard 34. It also requires a unit for a super or site manager. So, I'm just curious as to what the actual number is.
>> Uh, so let me just double check. Let me stop sharing my screen. But I know that there is uh a different uh site that has that requirement for the additional uh superintendent unit. Um but let me just double check that and make sure that we
are uh on the same page here. >> Oh, I might be reading the next one. I'm sorry. That could be. >> Let me see. >> Oh, wait. Yeah. No, you know what? I jumped ahead. I I >> Are you Are you looking at 13? >> Yeah, I'm looking at 13. That's why.
>> Okay. Okay, >> that's all right. >> Yeah, 34. >> Okay. Um, Miss Pearl Nutter. >> Yeah, this is for Jerry again. I mentioned this last time, too. I live in Queenston Commons, although not on this end of it. I live on the other end of it, but still I do live in Queenston
Commons, and he mentioned that Mr. Buts Queenston Commons. Can I vote? >> Yeah, same as last time. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Oh, no. Oh, I thought you said she could not last time. >> Last time he said no. Yeah, last time I think you suggested she recuse because she
>> I did >> is in the um >> okay >> is in the complex even though it's okay. >> So if you want me to recuse again but I'm I clearly on the other you know pretty far away from them. >> Yeah. >> So that's recuse or no?
>> I think that's yes as as you did last time. So consistent as a matter of caution. >> Yeah, I'll recuse. I'm not. Yeah, I leave it up to you, but >> Okay. >> All right. Thanks for that. Um, any other
questions or comments before I invite public comment? Any members of the public wish to address the board about this ordinance on North Harris uh uh about the property on North Harrison? Seeing none, I will close the public
comment. ask any any final thoughts or um invite a motion presumably to find the ordinance substantially consistent with the master plan and
recommend its approval to council. >> So moved. >> Thank you, Mr. Bodheimer. Is there a second? >> Second. >> Thanks, Mr. Taylor. Um call the role, please. Mrs. Battle, >> your Mr. Bingham, >> yes.
>> Councilman Cohen, >> yes. >> Mayor Freda, >> yes. >> Mr. McGawan, >> yes. >> Mr. O'Donnell, >> yes. >> Miss Schwmer, >> yes. >> Mr. Taylor, >> yes.
>> Miss Wilson Anderson, >> yes. >> Chair Wilson, >> yes. >> Motion carried. >> Thank you. Now, ordinance 2026-13, an ordinance of the municipality of
Princeton amending chapter 10 T10B entitled land use of the municipality of Princeton to create the affordable housing district 18 AH18 in furtherance of the Fair Housing Act. Nathan,
>> thank you, Madam Chair, and going to share my screen once again. Okay, there we go. >> Good. >> Okay. All right. Very good. Thank you. Uh so again, there is a memo dated February 27th, 2026. Uh I will summarize
that for the uh the board. Uh ordinance 2026-13 establishes the affordable housing district 18, AH18 for single lot uh 303 uh at 303 John Street. Uh this being block 6902 lot 29. Uh the ordinance uh
as with these other ones was introduced at council on February 23rd and will have a public hearing at council next Monday, March 9th. Uh this map uh that was included in the memo is appendix Q of the fourth round HFSP. The municipally owned lot is developed
with the municipal public works facility which uh is also planned to be relocated to Princeton's River Road property. And uh as with the uh the previous one, the uh the uh Harrison Street um uh facility uh is uh um that has been a
long-standing goal uh to have that relocation of the facility. The lot is located in the R9 residential zone of the former township. It is adjacent to the community park school property to the north. Uh you'll notice this uh uh that John Street uh
approaches uh this um this access road. Um this is not a a public road. This is part of the community park school property. Uh you have the parking area there, but that is all on the school property. That is not a uh public ride
ofway. And I believe this board knows that from uh previous applications, but just wanted to uh emphasize that point that uh the only frontage that this property has is along John Street uh located here to the west. >> Correct. And so just to add one thing,
that driveway, the school driveway is one way at that point um toward the park toward John Street. Yeah, >> correct. Yes. Thank you, Madam Chair. the uh to the west across John Street are uh residential uses actually to the
the southwest more so uh and then uh due west and northwest is the uh community park south property. Um the John Street property that is being resoned is also adjacent to the Princeton Packet Building which is located uh over to the
east uh and that is currently a multi-tenant commercial building. Uh and to the south are additional residential uses. Uh turning now to the ordinance, uh it requires a 100% affordable housing development consisting of a minimum of 35 units. Uh and this is what Mayor
Freda was uh uh referring to uh a few minutes ago. Uh there is a permitted unit for a site manager or superintendent. Uh as well, uh dwellings can either be multiple dwellings or town houses. Um there was as part of the appendix there were two concept plans
that were included as part of that uh appendix Q in the fourth round HFSP. Um there were modifications uh made uh to um to these uh to make it um to to get us to the point where we could draft
the uh the ordinance and that so that the uh council committee could draft the ordinance. Um but these are just illustrative of the possibilities uh for um what uh you know the concepts that it could have um uh turned into. Um
so the ordinance permits a maximum height and and because of that I'm not I'm just going to leave it on the overhead image. Um so the ordinance permits a maximum height of three and a half stories and 45 ft. Maximum impervious coverage is 80%. Yard setbacks are required for the sides and
rear uh per the proposed ordinance. uh 8/10 or 0.8 of a parking space is required for each residential unit. Bicycle parking is to be provided consistent with the existing municipal code and landscaping buffers of minimum 3 ft are required where side and rear
yards are required. Uh and so finally, in my professional opinion, the ordinance is consistent with the master plan. It is called for in the municipalities adopted fourth round HFSP. Unsurprisingly, uh it also meets master plan goals to create more housing in Princeton in different forms and for
uh different income levels. It meets mobility goals of the plan uh to include reducing inbound commuting and encouraging shifts from single occupancy vehicle travel to low or uh zero emissions mobility options. Uh utility goals and natural resource conservation goals are met. Uh these being
accommodating future growth while minimizing adverse impacts to the natural environment. And once again, the neighborhood uh character also I think comes into play with this one. Uh again, we have three and a half stories, 45 feet. Uh you do have the school to the the north. Uh and then the uh more uh
uh low lower density uh residential uh to the south and west. So, it it creates a nice transition from that uh school use and the public use uh with the park uh
to those uh residential uses uh as well. And so, with that, uh once again, I'll turn it back over to uh to you, Madam Chair, uh for the board's uh questions and discussion. >> Okay. Thank you. Um any questions from board members?
Okay, seeing none, um I will invite members of the public to raise your hand to speak if you would like to address the board virtually. Raise your hand now. Um Mr. Tuselli has raised his hand. So
can someone bring him over, please? Welcome back, Ed. >> Thank you, Madam Chair. Um, again, thank you to the members of the planning board. I just again want to appreciation
for this opportunity and again the theme has come up with this ordinance as well. Um, it's harmonizing what we do to provide more homes with the character of the neighborhood and that's our endeavor with this opportunity as well. So again,
just thank you for the the chance to do this. We appreciate it. >> Excellent. >> Thank you. >> Um, any other members of the public wish to speak? Seeing none, I will close public
comment, invite any any other thoughts from board members or a motion. Mr. Cohen, >> I move that we find the ordinance consistent with the master plan and recommend approval adoption to council.
>> Thank you. Is there a second? >> A second. >> I I saw you, Owen, but I think Miss Schwimmer raised her hand a little faster. >> That's absolutely fine. >> Thank you, Linda. Seconded by Miss Schwimmer. Um, Dadra, would you call the
role, please? >> Certainly. Mr. Bodingheimer. Yes, >> Councilman Cohen. >> Yes, >> Mayor Freda. >> Yes, >> Mr. McGawan. >> Yes, >> Mr. O'Donnell. >> Yes, >> Miss Pearl Mutter.
>> Yes, >> Miss Swimmer. >> Yes, >> Mr. Taylor. >> Yes, >> Chair Wilson. >> Yes. >> Motion carried. >> Thank you. Item E, ordinance 2026-14, an ordinance of the Municipality of
Princeton, amending chapter B17A entitled land use and zoning of the municipality of Princeton to create the affordable housing overlay district 19, AH19 in furtherance of the Fair Housing Act. Nathan,
>> sorry about that. my free my screen just froze uh for a moment. All right, so this one's a little bit different. Uh I want there's no appendix to share, but I did want to give an illustration of uh where these properties are. There are five of them, so it's a little difficult to situate
yourself with them. Uh so I'm just going to share the uh an overhead image from the New Jersey uh NJ parcel explorer website created by uh Rowan University.
Uh, and with that, actually, hold on. I need to need to stop the share over. I don't know why. All right. This is all right. If anybody needs an illustration, I will share it
at uh um you know uh at after uh the presentation. Um for some reason my uh screen is not cooperating with me on this one. Uh so this uh we are in the home stretch. Uh we've now come to the last
affordable housing ordinance uh which is for a uh zoning overlay uh as opposed to a uh reszoning. Um, as with the previous four ordinances, I'll summarize the memo I wrote. This one, also dated February 27th, uh, 2026. Um,
ordinance 20, uh, 2026-14 establishes the affordable housing overlay 19, AHO9 for five lots. Uh, these being 344 Nassau Street, 342 Nassau Street, 338 Nassau Street, 341 Nassau Street, and 343 to 345 Nassau
Street. And uh to just let you know where those are, uh those are located on all four corners of the intersection of Nassau Street and North Harrison Street. Uh and once again, if anybody really wants the overhead image, I'll I'll share it u later, but uh just to give
you an indic an idea about where those are. That's at the intersection, all four corners of the intersection of Nassau Street and North Harrison. The ordinance was introduced at council on February 23rd and will have a public hearing at council next Monday, March 9th.
Um the all five of the properties are developed with historic buildings that are currently used for commercial spaces, mostly offices. Uh the 344 Nassau Street and 343 to 345 Nassau Street properties are both in the NB
neighborhood business zone of the former burrow, while the 342, 338, and 341 Nassau Street properties are all in the RB residence business zone of the former burrow. Uh and all five properties are located in the Jugtown Historic District.
All five lots are also currently in the affordable housing overlay 2 or AHO2. Um, at page 42 of Princeton's fourth round housing element and fair share plan, it is noted that quote AHO2 will be modified in the fourth round to carve out properties in the Jugtown historic
district and create an additional overlay AHO8 with distinct bulk standards compatible with the affected historic properties. End quote. And so while the overlay designation noted in the fourth round HFSP is different uh
this being HO19 instead of HO8 the purpose of ordinance uh 2026-14 is to carve out the Jugtown historic district properties um and create an overlay more suitable for the properties. Uh the ordinance requires the retention of street fronting buildings in existence as of
July 13th 2022 uh which was the adoption date of the AHO2 uh overlay. uh and no new construction is permitted on top of those buildings. That being said, the ordinance does permit the development of multiple dwellings above the ground floor or
behind commercial uses on the ground floor or street level. It also permits town houses, stacked town houses, a combination of multiple dwellings and townhouse uses and retail sales and services, offices and restaurants on the ground floor. So long as the business faces on Nassau Street, at least 20% of
any proposed residential units are required to be designated and restricted as affordable. Hence why this is an affordable housing overlay. The ordinance permits a maximum height of three stories and 35 ft with a pitched roof required. The maximum impervious coverage is 80%. Yard
setbacks are required for new buildings, the front yard, sideyard, and rear yard. Landscape buffers to residential districts of minimum 15 feet are required. Uh per the proposed ordinance, no spaces are required for the first five residential units with 1.1 parking
spaces required for each unit in excess of five units. One parking space is required for each 400 square ft of retail sales and services, one for each 300 ft of office space, and one for each five seats in a restaurant.
Um and so, uh turning now to my professional opinion, uh the ordinance is consistent with the master plan. It is called for in the municipality has adopted fourth round HFSP as I quoted from earlier. It also meets master plan goals to create more housing in Princeton in different forms for different income levels. It meets the
land use goal to enhance the existing pattern of land use uh in you know mixed especially mixed use centers in town. Again this is near the uh Nassau street actually it's along Nassau Street. Additionally, it meets mobility goals uh to include reducing inbound commuting and encouraging shifts from those uh
single occupancy vehicles to low or zero emissions mobility options. Uh and then there's also that goal for uh of accommodating future growth while minimizing adverse impacts to the natural environment. And also the uh again the neighborhood character uh is
also that goal is also being uh met uh as a result of again uh you heard the uh the height uh limitation three stories 35 ft. Uh this is creating a a buffer a transition along North Harrison Street uh or actually along uh uh yeah along
Nassau Street going up uh to the north and to the south of Nassau Street uh along these uh properties. Um and so with that uh that concludes that presentation and I'll turn it back over to you Madam Chair. >> Um thank you Nathan. So, I am interested
in looking at the overhead again. And I I gather that you can't see your notes and the and the at the same time maybe because you're drawing from a different source. Yeah. So, but if you can see if you can put it up there and
>> I I will do so. Yes. >> Okay. Okay, I'll get that up here >> because I'm interested in um how far I understand we're talking about the properties immediately surrounding this intersection. So, with your cursor,
can you is it just the >> four properties or is it the six or seven that include the smaller pieces? You see what I'm saying? >> Yes. Yep. I see what you're saying. So, it's only five properties and it's um Okay. It's basically one for each corner
except for the northwest corner which is the two >> uh the two closest to that intersection. So it's this property that's 344 Nassau. >> These two properties uh the one to the south uh just the one to the south uh west and the one to the southeast. So
those are the five properties uh that will be subject to this uh this overlay >> overlay. Right. Okay. Good. Thank you. Just wanted to Make sure everybody understood that. Uh, Mr. Taylor, >> let me make a a couple of general
comments for what they're worth. Not with recommendations for action, but recommendations for caution. During the master planning process, the issues of Judgetown came up more than once and in a very sincere, but
also a deeply emotional, sometimes political way. There were also presentations before the board which were lively, interesting, challenging. As a practical matter, this is one of
the special historic areas in Princeton. And I don't suggest on the one hand that it cannot or should not be part of a development. But I would argue that this is not like the other ordinances because
of the nature of the property. Just drive by and take a look. That's number one. But number two, there is emotion here. And I can't imagine that any such development will not require
conversation. So I think we ought to step back a moment, think about it, be very clear what the site development process means, be very clear whether we have the right
wording in compliant with the master plan consistent with well I see already hands are up. Yeah, >> let let me provide David far away.
>> Yeah, I I just want to say that Jack, this ordinance actually grew out of conversations that came from the uh the push back. Uh >> so HO2
which was the overlay that applied to these five properties as well as some other adjacent properties allowed greater density, greater height, you know, smaller setbacks and so on. And um
we worked closely with planners and historic preservation advocates who are part of that save jug town um effort that you're referring to to come up with this new
uh set of rules for the properties that actually fall within the Jugtown Historic District. that that's really the purpose of this ordinance is to memorialize those conversations.
>> Is there any way, David, that the nature of this background and preparation, the judgments that you've reached, is there any way that could be included in the ordinance? When you read the ordinance, it sounds like the other ordinances. And to me, again, it's not.
You've approached it that way as well. Can we frame the language in any way that suggests that we've really treated this somewhat differently without creating >> I see Jerry loading in. >> I I think Jerry's going to give a legal opinion about that.
>> I think he is too. >> Yeah, I I don't think so. But certainly you can have as part of the file a a memo which explains the genesis of the ordinance, which would be quite typical. Um and it could be available um for it
could be posted uh on the website and explain how um the governing body uh came about the uh modifications to the ordinance that David has described. But I think that's the way to do it. I think putting it in the ordinance itself is >> perfectly fine, Jerry.
>> Yeah, I think that's a good idea. I mean >> needs to be done. Um it it um you know from what you've described Dave David is a best practice you know it's a it's an exercise in um engagement
and um you know making sure that we do things right right way right place and so I'm grateful to you and the others that have participated in in that. And I do think um that it would be
a a really good idea to um to ha to have the companion memo that Jerry described. Um Miss Pearl. >> Yeah. Um
maybe I just need clarification, but did I hear that the um affordable housing units would be on the ground floor? They could be, but only behind groundf flooror commercial that fronts on Nassau Street. In other
words, >> in other words, fronting on Nassau, you're not allowed to have residential unless you know there's one of these properties that actually has some open lawn next to it. It's on the southwest
corner. And so there you could actually have residential even on the ground floor um fronting on Nassau Street, but nowhere else because the existing buildings need to be retained and they need to be commercial.
>> All right. And these would be the affordable housing would be on the ground floor or doesn't could be affordable or non-affordable. >> It it's it's inclusionary. It doesn't specify. Yeah, it it doesn't specify and that would be part of the um developers decision uh about where to put the
affordable units uh and which would also be subject to uh review by the uh the board. >> Right. The reason I ask is this has come up before uh before the environmental commission and they've raised issues and it's I mean it's not just affordable housing but you know if you put it where
there's parking etc. Um there there there are fumes from cars and things of that sort and some of them were just putting the affordable housing all on the bottom. Um so it's something that you know it sounds like you haven't gotten there yet but it's something that
also should be kept in mind because I know if it comes before the environmental commission like that they will raise the issue. >> Yeah. And that again Yeah. And that's that will be something that um if if any developments come out of this uh overlay uh or use this overlay um those that
those will be considerations that come before uh you know again it it'll go through the entire site plan review process >> uh and will be um uh you know can be reviewed by the uh the board at that time. And I I also believe, Freddy, the
fourth round state legislation actually forbids segregating the affordable units and inclusionary development, putting them in a less desirable location. I don't know the exact language, but that has been addressed at the state level. Yeah.
>> Yeah, that's that's some of the exact language that Yeah. several things, but that's one of the articulations. >> Yeah. >> Good. Okay. Thanks, Good talk. Um,
uh, other thoughts? Seeing none, I will invite members of the public. If you would like to address the board, now's the time to virtually raise your hand. I see no hands going up. Okay. So, um,
back to the board for final thoughts or a motion to find this ordinance substantially consistent with the master plan and recommend to council its approval adoption. Excuse me.
Anybody want to make that motion? >> I'll make that motion. >> Thank you, Mr. O'Donnell. Is there a second? Sure. >> Thanks, Mr. Cohen. Um, Miss Battle, would you call the role, please?
>> Certainly. Mr. Bodingheimer, >> yes. >> Councilman Cohen, >> yes. >> Mayor Freda, >> yes. >> Mr. McGawan, >> yes. >> Mr. O'Donnell, >> yes. >> Miss Pearl Mutter, >> yes. >> Miss Swimmer,
>> yes. >> Mr. Taylor, >> yes. >> Chair Wilson, >> yes. >> Motion carried. Thank you. And finally, ordinance 2026-15, an ordinance of the municipality of Princeton, amending chapter T10B
entitled land use of the municipality of Princeton to address the requirements of the Fair Housing Act and the Uniform Housing Affordability Controls, aka U-Hack, regarding compliance with the municipalities affordable housing obligations.
Mr. Foot. >> Thank you, Madam Chair. Uh and uh we've we've come to the end. We have come to the uh the last of uh the affordable housing ordinances at least for the time being. Um we so the this ordinance was introduced
at council February 23rd. We'll have a public hearing at council next Monday, March 9th. Uh it this one is a bit different from the others uh besides its length um which you know you know is 49 pages. It's the longest of the uh ordinances that we've reviewed. Uh but hopefully this is my shortest
presentation. Um the ordinance replaces article 12 affordable housing of chapter T10B of the municipal code with a new article 12 also entitled affordable housing. Uh this new chapter is based on a model ordinance uh which follows current
U-Hack and DCA rules and includes among other sections uh definitions, municipalitywide mandatory set aides, affordable housing construction and design regulations, affordable housing program regulations, um unit standards, income restrictions, administration
enforcement and development fees. Uh much of the language of the ordinance is the same as exists currently in article 12, but some of the details uh are different. Uh, in my professional opinion, the ordinance is consistent with the master plan. Uh the update of the affordable housing chapter is directly called for
on page 81 of Princeton's fourth round HFSP which states quote once DCA and HMFA finalized the rule proposals anticipated after June 30th 2025 the municipality will prepare an updated fair share ordinance in accordance with
the court upheld uh KA's rules DCA's proposed new regulations at NJAC 599 and U-Hack's new 2025 regulations that are anticipated to be released shortly end quote. Aside from being directly called for in the fourth round HFSP ordinance
2026-15 is substantially consistent with other goals of the Princeton master plan, uh, one of the key findings from community input in the introduction section of the plan is that Princeton needs more housing, especially at lower price points. Um, the vision statement includes that Princeton will have a
housing amp plan diverse enough to accommodate all who want to live here and the Princeton of the future will be affordable to households of all income levels. Again, there are mandatory set aides in the ordinance uh that help with that uh goal. Uh but it also helps uh in
the administration of the affordable units uh that are being required with the all of the resonings that have taken place along with the affordable housing overlays uh that uh are going to be in place with these uh this new round of ordinances and the ones that uh already
exist. Uh and uh like I like I said, this is going to be a short one. Uh so thank you, Madam Chair, and I'll turn it back over to uh to you. >> Okay. Thank you. Um thoughts, questions?
Seeing none from board members, or any members of the public wish to say anything about this this final ordinance? Okay. Um back to the board then. Uh would someone
like to move this ordinance? Uh finding it substantially consistent with the Well, it's about as consistent as you can get since the master plan specifically called for this ordinance, but substantially
consistent with the master plan and recommending that council adopt it. >> I'll move. >> Thank you. Uh, Councilman Cohen, is there a second? >> Who would like to second? Thank you, Mr.
Taylor. Um, Dedro, would you call the role, please? >> Certainly, Madam Chair. Mr. Bodingheimer, >> yes. >> Councilman Cohen, >> yes. >> Mayor Freda, >> yes. >> Mr. McGawan, >> yes.
>> Mr. O'Donnell, >> yes. >> Miss Pearl Mutter, >> yes. >> Miss Swimmer, >> yes. >> Mr. Taylor. >> Yes. >> Chair Wilson. >> Yes. >> Motion carried. >> Thank you. Mr. Cohen, before you move to
adjourn, I do have one question. Um, do does anybody have a sense of when um the zoning map of the town will be updated to reflect these um changes that
we've made in the past uh few months? um couple of months because it's been a lot and and uh it's all good. I'm really really glad. But I think it would be helpful. I saw I see Justin. >> Yeah, I saw Justin activate his camera, so I think he's about to to answer that.
>> Uh when do you expect we'll have an updated um zoning map? >> We'll get to it next week. Um once all these changes are made. Uh and then there will probably not be any zoning changes in the foreseeable future. We we just didn't want to have to do it a couple times.
>> Of course not. No, it's important that every last one of them be adopted by council before before anybody. >> Please, Justin, don't say no more zoning changes in the foreseeable future because I'm counting on zoning changes in the next couple years.
>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean year years, not days because it's felt like days for some of these >> years are years are foreseeable. >> That's true. >> That's true. True enough. All right. Um, that's all I
got. Our next meeting is on March 19th. Hope to see everybody there. And take it away, Mr. Cohen. >> I move that we adjourn. >> Second. All in favor? >> I. Thanks very much, everyone, and um,
see you next time. >> Thank you. Good night. >> Have a good night.
