- Meeting Overview:
In a recent meeting, the Raritan Planning Board approved a request by Flemington Junction Associates to modify a previously established condition limiting the use of their warehouse site to a single function. The change aligns with a recent ordinance allowing multiple uses in the I2 Zone, where the property is located.
The decision came after a straightforward presentation by the applicant’s representative, who explained that the original approval was granted in 2021 for a single-use warehouse. However, an ordinance revision in 2024 by the township governing body now permits multiple uses on a single property within the I2 Zone. The board’s approval modifies the 2021 resolution to reflect this change, effectively accommodating the revised ordinance.
During the discussion, it was noted that any changes in use would require the applicant to seek a zoning permit, ensuring compliance with zoning standards, including parking requirements. The board found the request straightforward, and there were no significant objections from its members.
Additionally, a brief update was provided regarding ongoing county efforts to address traffic and pedestrian safety. The county is conducting surveys and gathering input to identify areas with traffic concerns and general congestion issues. The initiative has received a grant, which will aid in developing a comprehensive transportation safety plan.
