C. Site Suitability Analysis. Pursuant to N.J.A.C. 5:93-1.3, sites that are designated to produce affordable housing shall be available, approvable, developable and suitable according to the following criteria: e “Available site” means a site with clear title, free of encumbrances which preclude development for low and moderate income housing. N.J.A.C. 5:93-1.3. e “Approvable site” means a site that may be developed for low and moderate income housing in a manner consistent with the rules or regulations of agencies with jurisdiction over the site. A site may be approvable although not currently zoned for low and moderate income housing. e “Developable site” means a site that has access to appropriate water and sewer infrastructure, and is consistent with the applicable area wide water quality management plan (including the wastewater plan), or is included in an amendment to the area wide water quality management plan submitted to and under review by the DEP. e “Suitable site” means a site that is adjacent to compatible land uses, has access to appropriate streets and is consistent with the environmental policies delineated in N.JA.C. 5:93-4. In addition to the above qualifications, it is also sound planning for sites to be consistent with the State Development and Redevelopment Plan. Sites that are located in Planning Area 1: Metropolitan or Planning Area 2: Suburban of the State Development and Redevelopment Plan, or are located in an existing sewer service area, are the preferred location for municipalities to address their fair share obligations. All of the sites in this Housing Element and Fair Share Plan are located in State Planning Area 1. D.
