LEGISLATIVE HISTORY A Handicapped Parking Stall will be established in front of 25 Tompkins Street. 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 as Handicapped Parking Zones. Because this stall cannot be restricted to a designated building resident, any person with a handicapped plate or placard may park there.
