NOTICE OF DECISIONS
________________________________TAKE NOTICE that on the 21st day of October, 2013, the Planning Board of the Township of Cherry Hill in Camden County, NJ memorialized the following resolutions: Resolution 2013-10-21: The Cherry Hill Township Council directed the Planning Board by resolution, dated June 11, 2013, to undertake a preliminary investigation to determine if the area known as the “Victory Refrigeration Study Area,” located at 110 Woodcrest Road, also known as Block 431.18, Lot 8, on the Township’s Tax Map (“the Property”), satisfies the criteria for designation as an area in need of redevelopment pursuant to the Local Redevelopment and Housing Law (“LRHL”), N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-1, et. seq. The Planning Board prepared a map of the study area and undertook a preliminary investigation in accordance with the requirements of N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-6 to determine whether the Property qualifies as an area in need of redevelopment as provided under the LRHL, N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-5. The Planning Board conducted a public hearing on October 21, 2013, where the Planning Board, among other things, provided an opportunity to hear all persons who were interested in or would be affected by the determination that the delineated area is a redevelopment area. At the public hearing the Planning Board reviewed the findings of the Preliminary Investigation Study for the Property (“the Study”) prepared by Robert Melvin, PP, AICP of GroupMelvinDesign, dated October 9, 2013, heard expert testimony from Mr. Melvin and received public comment. The Planning Board by a unanimous vote of its members concluded that the Property is characterized by those conditions set forth at “criteria d” of the LRHL, N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-5d, and that designation of the area as in need of redevelopment would be consistent with smart growth principles, as further provided under “criteria h” of the LRHL, N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-5h, as set forth in the Study, and recommended that the Township Council designate the Property as an area in need of redevelopment. This resolution of the Planning Board of the Township of Cherry Hill shall take effect immediately.
