470 Eagle Rock Avenue West Orange_Planning Report_12212022

470 Eagle Rock Avenue, Township of West Orange, NJ – Professional Planning Report 16 proposed Popeyes restaurant. Although the project site abuts a residential zoning district to the south and west, adequate screening will be provided in the form of a variety of landscaped vegetation (along the westerly boundary) and a 6’ board of board fence (along the southerly boundary). Residential uses to the south and west will have minimal impacts, if any, as the vehicular circulation is designed to steer traffic away from the nearby residences while maintaining the commercial cohesion of the B-2 District and the adjacent business establishments. Cumulatively, all of the “C” deviations are better zoning alternatives than the strict application of the B-2 District standards set forth in the zoning ordinance. Lastly, additional proofs will be added during the time of planning testimony.
