Meer Tract Redevelopment Plan 8.20.2024

This document outlines the Meer Tract Redevelopment Plan for Block 5105, Lots 14.01, 53, 55, 58, 59, and 61 in the Borough of Bloomingdale. The plan aims to revitalize the designated area, a "Non-Condemnation" Redevelopment Area since November 3, 2023, by encouraging mixed-use development including residential, commercial, retail, office, and industrial uses. The plan provides policies and regulations for the redevelopment, including land use, building design, parking, and affordable housing requirements, and acts as an overlay to existing zoning, superseding conflicting provisions in the Borough's Zoning Ordinance. The redevelopment plan includes objectives to encourage development that meets affordable housing obligations and economic development goals, creates diverse housing opportunities, and fosters economic development through mixed-use projects. It also aims to create a unique sense of place, revitalize vacant parcels, and enhance the public realm. The plan details permitted uses, site design standards, parking regulations, landscaping requirements, and architectural design guidelines to ensure cohesive and sustainable development. The Borough Council will act as the “Redevelopment Entity” and will have powers to effectuate all its duties and responsibilities in the execution and implementation of this Redevelopment Plan. No property in the Redevelopment Area is proposed to be acquired by public entities as part of this Redevelopment Plan. The standards of this Redevelopment Plan shall supersede the zoning provisions of the Borough’s Zoning Ordinance; to the extent a conflict between this Redevelopment Plan and the Borough’s Zoning Ordinance exists, this Redevelopment Plan controls.
