Planner and attorney say Block 45 Lot 1 meets state redevelopment criteria; board accepts report (vote not recorded)
Summary
Planner Tim O’Brien and board attorney Richard Schneider presented a report concluding Block 45 Lot 1 meets criteria under New Jersey redevelopment law; the board received the report and a motion to accept it was made, but the meeting transcript does not record a vote for that motion.
Land use board attorney Richard Schneider and planner Tim O’Brien told the Oxford Township Land Use Board on Sept. 24 that their study finds Block 45 Lot 1 qualifies as an area in need of non-condemnation redevelopment under the New Jersey Local Redevelopment and Housing Law (transcript citation: NJSA 40A:12-A).
Schneider summarized the report and pointed to the statutory analysis (the transcript cites criteria A, B, C, D, E and H). O’Brien said he had provided the report to the board secretary and noted that buildings on the parcel had been removed, leaving a vacant triangle-shaped parcel that could be suitable for a future project.
Chair Mr. Ischinger opened the matter to public comment; no members of the public spoke. A motion to accept the report recommending that Block 45 Lot 1 qualifies as a non-condemnation area of redevelopment was made by Mr. Ischinger and seconded by Mr. Mcguire. The meeting transcript does not include a recorded vote for that motion, and the board did not discuss next procedural steps or a hearing date for the parcel during the recorded remarks.
The transcript cites the New Jersey Local Redevelopment and Housing Law (NJSA 40A:12-A). For clarity and standard citation, that is the New Jersey Local Redevelopment and Housing Law (N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-1 et seq.). The meeting record provides the board’s finding in report form but does not show a formal recorded vote in the posted transcript; reporters or stakeholders seeking the official outcome should consult the board clerk’s signed minutes or the board secretary.
