At its Dec. 1 meeting, the Bayonne Historic Preservation Commission reviewed two development proposals included in the meeting packet: a six‑story multifamily project at 102–116 Avenue E and a plan to convert the former Clayton Block site on Route 440/New Hook Road into a parking lot.

Staff described the Avenue E application as a six‑story residential building with 105 units, 110 parking spaces, 53 bicycle spaces and roughly 4,394 square feet of indoor amenity space plus outdoor terraces, a green roof and loading zone. Commissioners indicated some packet comments had been filed; several commissioners said they had no objection to filing a “no comment” or “no objection” response as appropriate.

The Clayton Block proposal was summarized as a simpler redevelopment: removal of the existing building and conversion of the site into surface parking. Commissioners asked staff to pass along minor aesthetic and historical suggestions where feasible.

The packet also included a notice about telephonic/communications equipment proposed atop Bayonne High School. Commissioners reported they had no objection in principle so long as the installation would not endanger the high school’s structure or its occupants; staff said they would forward either the recorded no‑comment response or specific comments as needed.

No formal votes on project approvals were recorded in the transcript; the commission’s role at this meeting was to review correspondence and confirm whether to send comments to state or city review bodies.
