Zoning board adopts three resolutions: coffee shop and pharmaceutical office approved; retail/therapy application denied
Summary
At the Feb. 5 meeting the Zoning Board adopted three resolutions: BYA Avenue b LLC was granted a conditional-use variance for a coffee shop; Specialty Infusion Inc. received preliminary and final site-plan approval for a pharmaceutical office with a d-1 use variance; MAJR Holdings LLC's request for retail/physical therapy use was denied.
The Clifton Zoning Board recorded three formal resolutions at the Feb. 5 meeting: two approvals and one denial.
1) BYA Avenue b, LLC — 132 Route 46: The board granted a conditional-use variance to change realty use to a restaurant (coffee shop). Motion to memorialize the approval was moved by Commissioner O'Connor and seconded by Commissioner Fucas; the roll call recorded Commissioners Perez, Robel, Braid, Ramos, O'Connor, Vice Chair Molnar and Chairman Zucchino voting yes (7–0). The resolution notes the change of use is a conditional approval.
2) Specialty Infusion Inc. — 646–648 Van Houten Avenue: The board granted preliminary and final site-plan approval and a d-1 use variance for pharmaceutical office use. Vice Chair Molnar moved, Commissioner O'Connor seconded; roll call recorded a unanimous yes vote from members present (7–0).
3) MAJR Holdings LLC — 61 Lakeview Avenue: The board memorialized a denial of the amended site-plan and use-variance request (retail/physical therapy and rehabilitation center). The motion to adopt the denial resolution was moved by Vice Chair Molnar and seconded by Commissioner Braid. Roll call votes reflect the board’s final action memorializing the denial; the minutes record the result as adopted by the board.
Why it matters: The resolutions implement recent hearings and direct permit and enforcement steps. The approvals allow applicants to proceed with building and permitting processes required by the Building Department; the denial closes that request unless the applicant seeks to reapply or pursue other remedies.
Record: The minutes show the board’s roll-call votes on the memorializing motions were unanimous in the two approvals and recorded the denial as adopted according to the roll-call statements included in the meeting transcript.
