Piscataway Zoning Board Approves Temporary Use Variance for Venture Net Properties

The Piscataway Township Zoning Board recently approved a temporary six-month use variance for Venture Net Properties, which involves the storage of materials at the former Johnson & Johnson campus on Hoes Lane. The approval is a step for the company’s plans to establish its American headquarters and open a home furnishing showroom and retail offices at the site.

The granted variance allows Venture Net Properties to store products and materials related to the interior fit-out of the building on the ground floor of one of the existing buildings on the site. This decision by the Zoning Board is strategic for the company’s efficiency as it avoids the need for multiple truck trips to transport materials, ultimately benefiting the general welfare by reducing truck traffic in the township. The proposal was thoroughly vetted with the fire marshal to ensure all safety measures, including adequate fire safety egress and operational fire suppression systems, are in place.

In addition to the temporary use variance, the Zoning Board addressed an application involving a PVE pavement installation at a residential property. The homeowner had received a notice for non-compliance with permits and was required to modify the installation by removing six to eight feet of the pavement and adding greenery. The board approved the application with the homeowner agreeing to the six-foot removal and landscaping requirements.
