Jersey City Zoning Board Approves Project Extensions Amid COVID Delays

At a recent Jersey City Zoning Board meeting, the board approved a series of one-year extensions for a development project, citing COVID-19 related delays as the primary reason for the postponement. The project, initially approved in 2020 with an additional unit added to the original six-unit plan, has been granted extensions through April 2025.

The applicant represented by Charles Harrington of Connell Foley sought the extensions for the project on Guer Avenue, explaining that the same reasons preventing the start of construction at this site also delayed another project on Delaware. The applicant aims to move forward with both projects simultaneously once ready within the next year. The Zoning Board, after confirming there were no community comments and a brief discussion among the members, unanimously approved the motion for the extensions.

In other business, the meeting addressed the carryover of two cases to the April 4th meeting. Case Z22-D79 for the property at 146-152 Glenwood Avenue and case Z22-075 for a property on West Side Avenue were both requested to be carried with preservation of notice.

The board also memorialized resolutions from previous meetings, including the denial of a D1 use variance for a property on Glenwood Avenue and the approval of a preliminary and final major site plan with variances for Glenwood Manor LLC on Glenwood Avenue. Additionally, an extension for a minor site plan approval with variances for Jackson Towers LLC at 573-577 Jackson Avenue was approved.
