In a recent government meeting, the West Windsor Township Board approved several significant developments, including the Woodstone Commercial West site plan and a new pet hospital, while also discussing an extension for a senior living project.

The board unanimously approved the preliminary final major site plan for Woodstone Commercial West LLC, which consists of two phases. Phase 1 will feature a childcare center known as the Malvern School, covering 5,657 square feet, while Phase 2 will include a 9,136 square foot office space that may potentially be converted to medical use, pending further traffic impact assessments. The project required a variance due to the placement of an outdoor play area, which is considered a front yard despite being located behind the building.

Additionally, the board granted conditional use approval for a new pet hospital at the Square West Windsor Shopping Center, which will provide emergency care services. This facility will be located next to a Starbucks and is expected to enhance local pet care options.

The meeting also addressed the application for a one-year extension of the amended final major site plan for the senior living project at Bear Creek. The developer cited delays due to financial challenges and changing market conditions for senior housing. The extension will allow the project to proceed, with construction anticipated to start soon.

Lastly, the board reviewed the Chick-fil-A site plan, which has undergone modifications to address concerns from neighboring Wawa regarding access and layout. The revised plan aims to maintain operational efficiency for both establishments while ensuring compliance with shared property agreements.

These developments reflect the township's ongoing efforts to enhance community services and infrastructure, balancing commercial growth with local needs.
