12 22 Woodland Ave ZB 25 2 Request for Information Memo February 28 2025

2 | Page 105 Grove Street, Suite 3 Montclair, NJ 07042 www.Nishuanegroup.com 973.954.2677 The Applicant should also be aware the former Essex Equestrian Center was wholly within the R-1 zone so in the event the determination is made the proposed project is a “private horse training facility”, rather than “commercial recreation”, the proposed expansion of the facility into the R-5 zone where this use has not previously existed and is not permitted and therefore also requires a D-1 Use Variance. Respectfully submitted, George Wheatle Williams, PP, AICP Principal, Nishuane Group, LLC. Erik DeLine, PP, AICP, LEED AP Associate, Nishuane Group, LLC.
