For the sake of brevity, any comments that are statements of fact or have been previously addressed are not included in the response below: Discussion/Recommendations Variance Proofs In B-1 and B-2 Districts, mixed-use developments are permitted as a conditional use in accordance with the requirements of Section 25-24.2b2(m). The proposal complies with all of these requirements. Commercial vehicle parking is not a permitted use, however. Acknowledged. The applicant has requested a “d(1)” use variance to permit commercial vehicle parking on the subject property. The Municipal Land Use Law (MLUL) at N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70d(1) enables a board of adjustment to grant a variance for a use or principal structure not permitted in the zoning district. A “d” variance may be granted only “in particular cases for special reasons.” Acknowledged.
