Maruccl ENGINEERING ASSOCIATES, LLC ENGINEERS ° SURVEYORS ° PLANNERS ~ Established 2001 ~ POST OFFICE Box 509 PHONE (973) 887-3066 CEDAR KNOLLS, NEW JERSEY 07927 FAX (973) 887-3066 PLANNING REPORT 87-89 ASHLAND AVENUE WEST ORANGE ESSEX COUNTY NEW JERSEY TAX MAP BLOCK 61 LOTS 44 & 45 The subject property is located in the J — Industrial zone. The Industrial zone permits various uses, including offices, warehousing, wholesale business, auto service and repair, and machine shops. The subject property is situated in the northwesterly side of Ashland Avenue, between White Street and Park Avenue. Although the area is zoned industrial, the northwesterly side of Ashland Avenue is mostly residential in character. EXISTING USE: In the existing condition, the subject property consists of a three story residential building, with six (6) one — bedroom residential apartments. Photograph No. 1 depicts the existing dwelling on the leit, together with the accessory driveway between the subject property and the existing three story dwelling to the right. PROPOSED USE: In the proposed condition, the applicant proposes the construction of a three story addition, over the existing accessory driveway, for two (2) additional three-bedroom residential units. Access to the rear parking area will be maintained under the proposed addition. The rear accessory parking area will be improved with nine (9) parking spaces, including drainage and lighting improvements. DISCUSSION Residential use is not permitted in the 1 — Industrial zone. However, Ashland Avenue is predominantly residential in character, along the northwesterly side, between White Street and Park Avenue. Photograph No. 2 indicates the predominant residential structures from the subject property, in a southerly direction towards White Street.

Photograph No. 3 indicates the predominant three story dwellings, beginning from the subject property’s accessory driveway, in a northerly direction towards Park Avenue. Photograph No. 4 shows the entrance driveway, between the subject property three story dwelling to the south, and the adjacent three story dwelling to the immediate north. Photograph No. 5 shows the existing rear open area of the subject property. POSITIVE CRITERIA The I — Industrial zone permits uses as described above, namely, office, warehousing, wholesale business, auto service & repair, and machine shop. The current residential use is considered existing, non-conforming, and the proposed addition will be considered an expansion of the non-conforming use. A Class (D-2) Use Variance is required for an expansion of a non-conforming use. The Zoning Board of Adjustment can grant the D-2 Use Variance pursuant to special reasons where the project is in character with the neighborhood, and the project carries out one or more of the purposes of zoning, and the site is particularly suitable for the proposed use. Clearly, the subject property is in character with the surrounding area, as evidenced in the attached Photographs. The site is particularly suitable for the proposed use as evidenced by the Photographs, with respect to the surrounding residential uses, in similar height, and in alignment with the existing buildings along Ashland Avenue. Several other reasons to permit the expansion of the non-conforming use: 1. Permitted industrial uses will not fit into the existing character of the northwesterly side of Ashland Avene. 2. The parking area will be improved with nine (9) parking spaces together with drainage improvements and lighting improvements. The addition is designed aesthetically, maintaining the same residential character, similar height, and alignment along Ashland Avenue. 4. The site is located within walking distance to local neighborhood shopping and public transportation. wo 2 of §

Several purposes of zoning are promoted, pursuant to the Municipal Land Use Law (MLUL). a). The promotion of public health, safety, morals and general welfare. Additional rental apartments will contribute to the viability of the local neighborhood businesses. b). To secure safety from fire, flood, panic and other natural and manmade disasters. New construction will require a fire sprinkler system for tenant safety. c). To provide adequate light, air and open space. Addition will occupy the area between the two existing buildings, while retaining the access driveway and open space to the rear. e). To promote the establishment of appropriate population densities and concentrations that will contribute to the well-being of persons and neighborhoods. i). To promote a desirable visual environment through creative development techniques. Positioning the addition along the existing front prevailing setback, as well as the similar height, will maintain the existing character of the area. NEGATIVE CRITERIA Relief can be granted with respect to the negative criteria, as follows: 1. Without substantial detriment to the public good. The addition will be in character with the area with respect to its use, including the prevailing setback and the building height. The additional residential tenants will contribute to the viability of local businesses. i) Without substantially impairing the intent and purpose of the zone plan and zoning ordinance. The addition is in character with the residential uses along Ashland Avenue. Permitted Industrial uses would not be suitable for the subject property or be in character with the existing residential pattern along Ashland Avenue. PARKING As indicated in the photographs, a paved area exists on the right side and rear of the subject property. Existing parking spaces are not delineated. Pursuant to Section 25-12.2, fifteen (15) parking spaces are required. The application proposes nine (9) parking spaces, including one (1) van-accessible parking space. ‘The parking area will provide one parking space per residential apartment. 3 of 5

A Class (C) variance is required for the deficiency in the parking requirement. The parking variance can be granted for the following reasons: 1, Public transportation is available within walking distance to White Street, Park Avenue and Main Street. 2. The trend of working from home has reduced the need for vehicles and related parking. MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE A Class (C) variance is also required for exceeding the maximum permitted lot coverage. The Industrial zone requires a maximum permitted lot coverage of 75% while the application proposes a coverage of 90.8%. The lot coverage is directly related to the need for parking, which contributes to the increase in impervious coverage. The plan proposes a stormwater management system with underground infiltration of stormwater runoff. The proposed drainage system offsets or otherwise compensates for the increase in lot coverage CONCLUSION The proposed addition of two residential apartments is in character with the area in terms of residential use, prevailing setback and building height. The special reasons are consistent with the Municipal Land Use Law to allow the Zoning Board of Adjustment to grant the Use Variance, parking variance, and the maximum lot coverage variance. The variances can be granted without any substantial detriment to the public good, and without substantially impairing the zone plan or the zoning ordinance. 4 of 5
