County planners report April development activity: 16 applications, 520,000‑square‑foot warehouse proposed in Old Bridge
Summary
Katie, a project manager with the Middlesex County Office of Planning, presented the April final review: 16 applications on the DRC agenda, including a proposed 520,000‑square‑foot warehouse in Old Bridge and a senior assisted‑living facility in East Brunswick that will be required to provide sidewalks along county roads.
Katie, a project manager in the Middlesex County Office of Planning, presented the office’s April final review report to the planning board on May 13. She summarized development‑review center activity and application types for the month.
Katie said there were 16 applications on the Development Review Center agenda in April: nine site plans, two minor subdivisions, one final subdivision and additional items for extensions and exemptions. For comparison, she reported 22 applications on the April 2024 agenda (noting that excluding extensions the 2024 and 2025 counts were nearly even).
Highlights Katie identified in the packet included: - HP Warehousing LLC (Old Bridge): proposed 520,000‑square‑foot warehouse on Old Water Works Road (project noted as not on a county road). - Brightview East Brunswick / Pernew LLC: proposed senior assisted‑living and memory‑care facility at Riders Lane and Cranberry Road (both are county roads); applicants will be required to provide sidewalks along Cranberry Road and partial sidewalk along Riders Lane, with ADA certification required for frontage improvements. - Costco (Monroe): non‑project road application for campus improvements including additional cold storage and a break room.
Katie also flagged exempt site plans processed as staff actions in April, including a six‑unit mixed‑use building in South Plainfield and renovation of an existing commercial building on George Street in New Brunswick. She provided table summaries for new residential lots (12 new lots reported), nonresidential lots and square footage associated with site plans.
Board members did not take formal action during Katie’s summary; the presentation served as an informational report and record of the Development Review Center’s April activity.
