Overview: The Berkeley Heights Zoning Board meeting focused heavily on the settlement of ongoing litigation involving a contested development project on Mountain Avenue. The board deliberated on the merits of a proposed settlement agreement to resolve the dispute, which would allow for the construction of four single-family homes alongside an existing church. This settlement arose from previous board decisions denying subdivision and variance relief, which led the applicant to file a complaint challenging the board’s decision as arbitrary and unsupported. The potential for the litigation to broaden into federal claims under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act further complicated matters, prompting the board to weigh the risks and costs associated with continued legal battles.
