ORDINANCE OF THE TOWNSHIP OF LIVINGSTON AMENDING CHAPTER 170 OF THE CODE OF THE TOWNSHIP OF LIVINGSTON

WHEREAS, a review of lots fronting on East Mount Pleasant Avenue between the Livingston Avenue intersection and Rossmore Terrace has identified lots in Tax Blocks 1503, 1512, and 3701 to which the Master Plan recommendation applies; and
WHEREAS, the recommendation in the 2007 Master Plan can be accomplished by rezoning specific lots in those Tax Blocks;
