Planning Board backs new AH-6 affordable housing zone for 10 Mountain View Road
Summary
The Upper Saddle River Planning Board reviewed and recommended adoption of Amended Ordinance 10-26 to establish an AH-6 Affordable Housing district for 10 Mountain View Road as part of the borough's affordable housing and fair-share plan; the recommendation carried on a roll-call vote.
The Upper Saddle River Planning Board on June 10 reviewed and recommended the Mayor and Council adopt Amended Ordinance No. 10-26, which establishes a new AH-6 Affordable Housing district for the property at 10 Mountain View Road (Block 1002, Lot 2).
Borough Planner Joseph Burgis summarized the ordinance as the implementing mechanism for the borough's affordable housing and fair-share obligations, saying it clarifies bulk schedules and supplementary zoning requirements for the new AH-6 district. He told the board the revisions make “no major change to the Ordinance's intent” but define dimensional standards for the site.
The recommendation matters because it sets the municipal zoning framework for a parcel identified for affordable housing. By referring the amendment to the Mayor and Council, the Planning Board concluded the ordinance is not inconsistent with the Borough's Master Plan and moved to recommend adoption. The motion to recommend adoption passed on a roll call of board members present.
At the meeting the Board also memorialized a subsequent resolution adopting Ordinance No. 10-26 for the record. That resolution was recorded by roll call vote as noted in the minutes.
What happens next: The Planning Board's recommendation is an advisory determination to the Mayor and Council; the ordinance will proceed through the Borough's legislative process for final action or further public hearings. The meeting record identifies the AH-6 district site as 10 Mountain View Road (Block 1002, Lot 2) and ties the ordinance to the borough's Affordable Housing and Fair Share Plan.
