Sayreville adopts Ordinance 8‑26 updating affordable‑housing development fees

The Sayreville Borough Council adopted Ordinance 8‑26 on May 26, updating the borough’s affordable‑housing and development fee ordinance to align with amended state Fair Housing requirements and new UHAC regulations.

The council opened a public hearing on the ordinance and, with no public testimony offered, closed the hearing and approved second and final reading. The mayor and council directed that the adopted ordinance be advertised according to law.

Why it matters: The ordinance implements statewide regulatory changes for municipal affordable‑housing obligations and updates the borough’s fee schedule used when developers elect to pay into the municipal affordable‑housing fund rather than build required units on site.

What the council said: The planner was present for technical questions, but none were raised during the public hearing. Council President Zabrowski moved to close the public portion and adopt the ordinance; roll call approval followed.

Next steps: The adopted ordinance will be advertised and the borough will proceed under the new fee structure when developers trigger affordable‑housing obligations under state law.
