Planning Board deems Amzak Basking Ridge site plan application complete; hearing discussion set for August

The Bernards Township Planning Board on June 16, 2026 moved to deem the amended preliminary and final site plan application PB 26-002 for Amzak Basking Ridge LLC complete under section 21-51 of the township land-development ordinance.

Attorney Michael Castoria of the law firm Day Pitney identified himself as representing the applicant. The board reviewed memos from the planning/engineering reviewer (including follow-up correspondence dated June 5 and June 15, 2026) indicating that outstanding items had been submitted and that the application could be reviewed for completeness.

A motion to deem the application complete was made, seconded and approved by roll call. The applicant asked about hearing dates; the board discussed its July schedule (noting the July 7 meeting was cancelled and that the second July meeting was tentative) and tentatively agreed to schedule a hearing on August 18, 2026, provided sufficient board membership is available. Members noted an option to roll the matter to September if necessary.

Details in the record identify the application as an amended preliminary and final site plan for Block 11.301, Lots 1.01 and 1.02, at 180–181 Mountain View Boulevard (PB 26-002). The board did not take a substantive vote on the merits of the site plan at this session; staff confirmed the submission was administratively complete and the application will be scheduled for a public hearing consistent with board availability.

The applicant and board will coordinate with staff on scheduling and notice requirements for the public hearing.
