Public Notice:

BOROUGH OF WOODCLIFF LAKE COUNTY OF BERGEN, STATE OF NEW JERSEY  NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the following proposed ordinance was amended at a meeting of the Borough Council of the Borough of Woodcliff Lake, in the County of Bergen, State of New Jersey, held on the 16th of June, 2014, and that said ordinance will be taken up for further consideration for final passage at the meeting of the Borough Council to be held at the municipal building, 188 Pascack Road, Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, on the 14th day of July, 2014, at 8:00 PM, or as soon thereafter as said matter can be reached, at which time and place all persons who may be interested therein will be given an opportunity to be heard concerning the same. A copy of this ordinance has been posted on the bulletin board upon which public notices are customarily posted in the Municipal Building of the Borough, and a copy is available up to and including the time of such meeting to members of the general public of the Borough who shall request such copies, at the office of the clerk in said Municipal Building in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey. ORDINANCE NO. 14-04  AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 380, ZONING, OF THE REVISED CODE OF THE BOROUGH OF WOODCLIFF LAKE, COUNTY OF BERGEN, STATE OF NEW JERSEY IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH A TOWNHOME OVERLAY DISTRICT (THO)  WHEREAS, the Borough of Woodcliff Lake is a predominantly residential community with more than 57 percent of its land area zoned for residential use; and  WHEREAS, according to the Master Plan adopted by the Borough in 2002, revised in 2008, nearly all residential development consists of single family detached dwellings on lots averaging 15,000 square feet or greater; and   WHEREAS, Borough finds that there exists a need for market rate townhomes in the Borough of Woodcliff Lake, as multi-family residential development constitutes only a very small portion of the Borough’s total housing stock and is concentrated in two affordable housing developments; and  WHEREAS, the Borough’s existing R-30 Residential District is divided into three distinct areas of the Borough, one of which consists of 7.25 acres (or 7.5 acres, including the public roadways) located along County Road, to the west of Harriet Drive, and constitutes an isolated neighborhood surrounded by the most densely populated sections of the Borough and not adjacent to any other single family residential zone in the Borough except for a small portion of the R-8.15 Residential District; and   WHEREAS, in light of the aforementioned conditions as well as changes in the character of the surrounding neighborhood, the 2008 Reexamination of the Borough Master Plan stated that development other than single family detached dwellings may be appropriate for the above area; and   WHEREAS, so as to meet the need for market rate townhomes, to maximize the appropriate use of land and provide a unique residential enclave of single family residences, the Borough Council finds that it is in the best interest of the citizens of Woodcliff Lake to amend the Zoning Map and Zoning Ordinance of the Borough so as to create a Townhome Overlay District (THO) within the R-30 Residential District to encourage the future adaptive re-use of the properties within the zone to address the need for market rate multi-family/townhouse development; and  WHEREAS, the Borough Council further finds that these amendments are consistent with the Master Plan of the Borough of Woodcliff Lake and designed to effectuate its underlying objectives, policies and standards.
