Mr. Grygiel noted that the State of NJ Municipal Land Use Law requires reexamination updates to the master plan at least every 10 years; West Orange’s last Master Plan reexamination report was adopted in 2010, so we are right on schedule to adopt this update by 2020.

He gave a brief presentation of draft plan outline using PowerPoint. The four (4) Principles to focus on for 2019 update include: encourage appropriate residential development; properly locate public, commercial /retail and residential and service uses; protect natural features and environmental resources; maintain the appropriate scale of the community. Mr. Grygiel noted the eight elements of the master plan, which includes: Land Use; Circulation; Economic Development; Historic Preservation; Community Facilities, Utilities and Recycling; Housing; Open Space and Recreation; and Sustainability.
