March 10, 2017 I Volume 11 I Issue 5 Zoning Bulletin <br />The court held that, in determining municipal fair share obligations for <br />the Third Round, the trial courts must employ an expanded definition of <br />"present need." The court directed that, in light of the need arising during <br />the gap period, the present -need analysis must be expanded to "include, in <br />addition to a calculation of overcrowded and deficient housing units, an <br />analytic component that addresses the affordable housing need of low - <br />and moderate -income households created since 1999, provided that the <br />households remain income -eligible and situated in New Jersey, and are <br />not calculated in a way that includes persons now deceased or whose <br />households may be already captured through the historic practice of as- <br />sessing deficient housing units within the municipality." <br />See also: Southern Burlington County N.A.A.
