This property is a 17-unit multifamily residential building developed as part of the Harvard Press Urban Renewal Zone. The final variance approval from the West Orange Planning Board requires this Handicapped Stall. Such parking stalls are permissible under the laws of New Jersey, and they are designated Handicapped Parking Zones.

utdoor Cafes (Legal- Gengaro). The purpose of this ordinance is to add additional requirements for establishments located in these B-1, B-2, and PC districts to operate an outdoor cafe. This Ordinance shall apply prospectively. c. 2930-25 An Ordinance Amending and Supplementing Chapter 7, Traffic, Subsection 7-18.1, One Way Streets Designated, Subsection 7-12, Parking Prohibited for Street Cleaning and Maintenance, Subsection 7-14.1c, Night Parking restricted, Subsection 7-46.2 Parking Prohibited During Certain Hours On Certain Days On Certain Streets Servicing Residential Land Uses, Except by Permit, and 7-46.9c Permit Parking Exceptions of the Revised General Ordinances of the Township of West Orange (Carballo) Standish Avenue, between Lakeside Avenue and Park Avenue has historically been a two-way traffic street with parking on the west side opposite the residential portion, and a mix of No Parking and Loading Zones adjacent to the large commercial buildings. Increased parking demand from the larger commercial businesses, the Board of Education Bus Garage, and high-density housing nearby has created a parking issue for the local residents and smaller commercial enterprises. Based on the recommendations of the Municipal Engineer, Police Chief, and West Orange Fire Official, this Ordinance changes Standish Avenue between Lakeside Avenue and Park Avenue to a one-way street flowing southbound. This will decrease traffic congestion in the neighborhood and allow street parking by permit at the south end of the street near the residences and smaller businesses. Residents will be issued two (2) permits per dwelling unit. Remaining permits will be issued to Standish Avenue businesses, on a first come basis, at a maximum of three permits (3) per business. One-way traffic southbound

will mirror the one-way traffic northbound on Ashland Avenue allowing better circulation of traffic in the Redevelopment area of the Township and eliminate traffic from Spring Street and the City of Orange using the street as a northbound cut-through to avoid traffic on Park Avenue (CR-658). 10.
