On behalf of the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy and Rutgers
University, I would like to welcome you to the American Planning Association’s 2014 New
Jersey Planning Conference.
Now more than a year past one of the most challenging natural disasters facing our state, our
profession has embraced the inclusion of stronger mitigation and resiliency policies into all
aspects of the planning process. Adaptation to climate change, shoreline protection, stormwater
management strategies and case studies of recovery are just a few of the post-Sandy topics of
interest being presented.
The focus of the conference, however, is more than just recovery and resiliency post-Sandy.
From understanding shifting budgetary trends at the local and state levels to promoting
sustainable development through the use of regulation and incentives, from understanding
how the use of form-based codes can improve architectural and community design to
considering how religious tolerance can be achieved while preserving a community’s character,
you’ll find outstanding program offerings focused on APA’s mission to support and develop
planning professionals who are dedicated to facing these challenges head-on.
On Thursday, The Honorable Peter Buchsbaum, Superior Court (retired) will present a
lunchtime keynote on the need for advocacy in planning. Jeffrey Otteau of The Otteau
Valuation Group will present the Friday keynote speech on his analysis of the changed
demographics, household incomes and housing finance realities that will drive the nature of
housing needs in our future.
The conference has continued to build upon the success of its predecessors, with two full days
packed with a diverse range of topics and activities. Together, the Bloustein School and the
APA-New Jersey chapter are committed to providing opportunities for both professionals and
students to examine pertinent issues that come with continued urbanization in an increasingly
difficult global economy and to become agents of positive change.
I would also like to take the time to thank the many volunteers and sponsors, without whose
assistance this event would not have been possible.
James W. Hughes, Dean
Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy

professionals in the field and engage with each other on
cutting edge planning topics, APA-NJ is partnering with
the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy to
create a sustained network of practitioners and graduate
planning students. The purpose of the exchange is to
create pairs of practitioners and Master of City and
Regional Planning students that share planning subject
area interests. It is the goal of the program to create
pairings that are beneficial to both practitioners and
students, with the aim that the partnership be a true
exchange that benefits the professional development and
growth of each individual.

15. TE1/2: What was Mount Laurel supposed to fix? How did we do? Why
is COAH so hard to reform? (9:00am-12:15pm)
Regency BC CM I 3.0 I Law CLE
It
has
been
42
years
since
a
trial
court
concluded
that
municipal
zoning
tends
to
reflect
the
desires
of
those
already
in
place
to
the
disadvantage
of
the
regional
interest
and
basic
housing
needs
of
our
growing
popula=on.
Over
this
span,
our
Supreme
Court
created
a
doctrine
in
1975
and
an
implementa=on
framework
aimed
at
those
with
low
and
moderate
incomes
in
1983.
The
Legislature
adopted
the
Fair
Housing
Act
in
1985
and
COAH
administered
an
alloca=on-‐based
system
for
12
years,
and
has
floundered
ineffec=vely
for
nearly
14
years.
In
2013,
a
temporarily
configured
Court
in
a
split
decision
begged
the
Legislature
to
find
a
fix.
And
those
conversa=ons
have
been
torture
–
there
seems
to
be
lible
consensus
over
what
exactly
was
broken,
what
was
the
point
of
the
whole
exercise,
has
=me
passed
the
need
for
this
doctrine
by,
and
what
–
if
anything
–
should
be
done
about
it.
Our
profession
owes
our
elected
leadership
an
answer.
Join
us
as

As

a

also
balances
this

we
will
look
at
how
this

using
a
triple
bobom
line
approach
of
economics,

and
social
impact,
can
create
a

Typologies
will
range
from

at
one
end
of
the
spectrum
to
soaring

and
