City to transfer small parking parcel (Lot 14) to JCRA to secure daycare emergency egress
Summary
Planning staff asked council to approve transfer of Lot 14 (247 First Street) from the parking authority to the Jersey City Redevelopment Agency so the daycare adjacent to the parcel can obtain a state‑required emergency egress license.
Planning staff told the council they will ask members to approve an ordinance transferring Lot 14 (247 First Street) from the parking authority to the Jersey City Redevelopment Agency (JCRA).
Staff explained the parcel is a narrow sliver in a municipal parking lot behind a daycare center; the daycare needs permission to use the parcel as an emergency egress under state law. Planning staff said Lot 14 had not previously transferred with the larger Lot 13 due to an administrative oversight and that adding Lot 14 to the JCRA assemblage will allow the city to grant the daycare the needed licensing.
The item was presented at caucus as a standard transfer needed to correct the record and enable the daycare’s emergency egress license; no substantive objections were raised and the ordinance will proceed to the council for formal action.
