Wallington Planning Board finds Ordinance No. 2026-10 "not inconsistent" with master plan and adopts reporting resolution

At its March 17, 2026 regular meeting, the Wallington Planning Board voted unanimously to find Ordinance No. 2026-10 "not inconsistent with the Borough Master Plan and the Housing Element and Fair Share Plan" and to adopt a resolution reporting that finding to the mayor and council. The board called the meeting to order at 7:32 p.m. and adjourned at 7:40 p.m.

Board Attorney Richard J. Allen provided an overview of Ordinance No. 2026-10 and discussed how the proposal aligns with the borough's master plan and the housing element and fair share plan. After the overview, board member Nick Melfi moved that the board find the ordinance "not inconsistent" with those planning documents; Tomasz Bazel seconded the motion.

On roll call, the vote was recorded as Aye from Tomasz Bazel, Paul Szwaczka, Stanley Baginski, Theresa Wygonik and Nick Melfi; no members voted nay and there were no abstentions. Following the vote, Attorney Allen read into the record a resolution reporting the results of the board's review of Ordinance No. 2026-10. Melfi then moved to adopt that reporting resolution, which Wygonik seconded. The board again voted unanimously to adopt the resolution.

The board noted that approval of the March 10, 2026 special meeting minutes was held in abeyance because there was an insufficient quorum of members eligible to vote on those minutes. The meeting record indicates there was no correspondence and no additional new business discussed that evening.

The adopted resolution and the board's comments regarding Ordinance No. 2026-10 will be forwarded to the mayor and council as the meeting paperwork was distributed to municipal officials. The meeting minutes were signed and submitted by recording clerk Marta Goldyn. The meeting was adjourned at 7:40 p.m.
