Zoning board approves site-plan and use-variance for upgrades at 40 Riverside Avenue, limits marina uses
Summary
The Red Bank Zoning Board adopted a resolution approving preliminary and final major site plan, use and bulk variances for improvements to a senior living facility at 40 Riverside Avenue, with conditions limiting marina operations — including resident-only boat slips, no public launching or fuel station, and a dock length cap of 190 feet.
The Red Bank Zoning Board of Adjustment on May 21 adopted a resolution approving a preliminary and final major site plan, use variance and bulk variances for improvements to an existing senior living facility at 40 Riverside Avenue.
The board’s resolution includes several site-specific conditions meant to limit potential marina impacts. The conditions require that boat slips be reserved for facility residents only, prohibit boat repairs and on-site boat storage, bar public boat launching and any fuel station on site, and cap the dock length at 190 feet measured from the waterward face of the bulkhead. The board also required the primary parcel and an associated parking lot across the street to remain in common ownership and noted compliance with all applicable affordable-housing rules and contributions.
The board’s discussion noted a correction to earlier paperwork: the applicant’s initial submission and the draft resolution contained conflicting numbers for boat slips. The record was clarified that the applicant’s earlier, larger proposal would not be approved without a substantially different future application; the resolution as adopted reflects the reduced-slip plan and other conditions described above.
Board members voted to adopt the resolution at the meeting. The board recorded roll-call agreement during the motion to adopt. The resolution’s other conditions address landscaping, dock design and compliance with environmental and municipal review memoranda.
The board did not open further public testimony on this resolution at the May 21 meeting; implementation and any future changes to marina operations will require additional board review if the applicant seeks larger or different marina facilities.
