Overview: During a recent Belmar Borough Council meeting, attention was given to the borough’s ongoing efforts to meet its affordable housing obligations, with detailed presentations outlining potential legal consequences for non-compliance. Attorney Francancy McMahon and planner Christine Bell led a discussion on the borough’s affordable housing status, which has been a point of contention due to past inaction. The borough has faced mounting pressure to comply with the Mount Laurel doctrine, a constitutional obligation requiring municipalities to provide affordable housing. Over the past decade, Belmar has accrued a backlog of units that need to be constructed, and recent large-scale developments have failed to incorporate affordable housing, thus exposing the borough to builder’s remedy lawsuits.
