Montgomery committee designates 23 Orchard Road as 'area in need of redevelopment' and directs planning board to draft plan
Summary
The township adopted a resolution finding Lot 5.02 (23 Orchard Road) qualifies as a non‑condemnation area in need of redevelopment under state law and directed the planning board to prepare a redevelopment plan; an informational planning board meeting is scheduled for April 27.
The Montgomery Township Committee voted to designate Lot 5.02 in Block 28001 (23 Orchard Road) as a non‑condemnation "area in need of redevelopment" under New Jersey redevelopment law and directed the Planning Board to prepare a redevelopment plan.
Township Administrator Lori explained the designation follows a Planning Board preliminary investigation and public hearing on March 23 and referenced the planner's report. She said the April 27 Planning Board meeting will be an informational session about the redevelopment process and goals; no action on the site will be taken that night by the Township Committee.
The resolution (26‑4‑138) instructs the Planning Board to draft a redevelopment plan and was adopted by roll call; the public was reminded there will be opportunities for public input during the Planning Board process.
What happens next: The Planning Board will hold an informational meeting April 27 and will develop a draft redevelopment plan for later public hearings and review by the Township Committee. The resolution notes the designation is non‑condemnation, meaning the town does not seek eminent domain as part of the finding.
