Meer Tract Redevelopment Plan 8.20.2024

This document outlines the Meer Tract Redevelopment Plan for the Borough of Bloomingdale, focusing on the revitalization of approximately 45.3 acres across several lots into a comprehensive mixed-use development. The plan provides the regulatory framework and policy direction for integrating residential (market rate, age-restricted, and affordable housing), commercial, retail, office, and industrial uses within the designated area. Key aspects of the plan include detailed site design and bulk regulations, such as a maximum of 500 residential units (including 72 affordable units) and a 320,000 sq ft industrial building. It also specifies requirements for parking, pedestrian and bicycle circulation, landscaping, lighting, architectural standards, and sustainability features. The plan acts as an overlay zone, superseding conflicting provisions of the Borough’s existing Zoning Ordinance for the redevelopment area. The Borough Council is designated as the Redevelopment Entity responsible for implementation. Development applications, including preliminary major site plans, are contingent upon a party being designated as the official redeveloper through a Redevelopment Agreement. The Redevelopment Area was officially designated on November 3, 2023, setting the stage for future development activities under this framework.
