1996 - 2001 HOUSING GOALS
The Housing Element documents the Princeton Community's long history and commitment
toward providing affordable housing. The goals of the Housing Element reinforce this commitment as well as seek to preserve existing neighborhoods.
I. Provide Princeton's regional fair share of affordable housing for low, moderate
and middle income households.
II. Provide for the housing needs of the handicapped and the elderly.
III. Promote, preserve and enhance Princeton's unique community life and housing
stock.
IV. Provide for present and future housing needs in the Princeton
Community, while retaining the small-town quality and diversity of life within
the community, consistent with the vision of Princeton.
V. Balance Princeton's housing needs with other land uses, and the goals
and policies of other elements of the Community Master Plan.
VI. Ensure that new housing development does not have a negative impact upon the
natural or man-made environment within Princeton, nor should it place an
undue burden on existing infrastructure and roads or negatively impact the
quality of life.
VII. Higher density housing opportunities for affordable and senior housing should
be provided in areas where the impact on Princeton's quality of life, traffic
circulation, schools, and transportation system can be minimized.
