1. ““Applicant has failed to persuade the Department of Community Aifairs: 1. That it is not presently engaging in, and does not intend to continue engaging in, exclusionary development policies, that is, zoning and other land-use control practices that effectively preclude construction of dwelling units that could house minority, and low-income and (in some cases) middle-income families, either by direct exclusion or by raising the price of residential development; 2. That such exclusionary development policies would not adversely affect access by minorities and the poor to the proposed project facilities; 3. That, in terms of the limited resources presently available, the proposed project would effectively serve the most pressing community needs.””
