Public Notice:

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Township of Lyndhurst Planning Board  LEGAL NOTICE   Please take notice that an application has been made by Applicant Riverside Plaza Retail Urban Renewal LLC and Riverside Plaza Residential Urban Renewal LLC for Amendment to Final Site Plan Approval at 601 Riverside Avenue, Lyndhurst, NJ. The applicant is proposing a residential unit on the ground floor to an existing mixed use high-rise structure. The property in question is 601 Riverside Avenue, Lyndhurst, New Jersey (“Premises”), Block 170, Lot 1.   The owner of the Premises listed on tax maps of the Township of Lyndhurst is Riverside Plaza Retail Urban Renewal LLC and Riverside Plaza Residential Urban Renewal LLC. A planning board application for site plan approval and bulk variance relief to construct a mixed use high-rise structure at the Premises was previously filed by the then-applicant Lyndhurst Residential Communities, LLC. A public hearing was held before the Lyndhurst Planning Board on May 14, 2003, at which time the Lyndhurst Planning Board granted the application. More specifically, a resolution was adopted at the June 11, 2003 Lyndhurst Planning Board meeting permitting approximately 15,980 sq. ft. of retail space, 5,500 sq. ft. of common recreational facilities for the building residents as well as space reserved for mechanical systems and building facilities on the ground floor of the Premises.   Additionally, the structure was permitted to contain 81 senior citizen subsidized rental units and 96 market rate residential units (which includes one unit for use of an onsite residential manager and one unit for use of an onsite building supervisor) for a total of 177 residential units.  It is the Applicant’s position that residential units are permitted on all floors, including the ground floor. However, the Township of Lyndhurst has taken the position that residential units may not permitted on the ground floor. Without waiving its position or any of its rights, the Applicant now seeks amended final site plan approval to permit residential units on the ground level. At this time, the Applicant is requesting one residential unit on the ground floor, but takes the position that residential units are permitted on the ground floor. The Premises was previously located in the Business Zone (B) but was developed under the Township of Lyndhurst Passaic River Waterfront Redevelopment Plan. The zone of the site is SHRC (Senior Housing and Residential-Commercial Zoning Ordinance Overlay Zone). The rest of the approvals previously granted shall remain undisturbed.   The applicant may seek any such variances and waivers that may be required.  A public hearing before the Lyndhurst Planning Board has been ordered for Wednesday, July 2, 2014 at 7:00 p.m., in the Town Hall located at 367 Valley Brook Ave., Lyndhurst, New Jersey. When this matter is called, you may appear either in person, by agent, or attorney, and present any objections you may have to the granting of this application.   This notice is being published pursuant to the requirements of the Township and the Land Use Act. The application and file (and documents in support of this application) are available for public inspection in the office of the Building Department located at 253 Stuyvesant Avenue, Lyndhurst, NJ 07071, Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  Gregory K.
