76-80 MAIN STREET REDEVELOPMENT PLAN TOWNSHIP OF WEST ORANGE, COUNTY OF ESSEX Page 22 Prepared by Heyer, Gruel & Associates • Stabilize and enhance older inner ring suburbs. • Redesign and revitalize auto oriented areas. • Protect and enhance the character of existing stable communities. The 76-80 Main Street Redevelopment Plan meets the goals for Planning Area 1. 9.2 ESSEX COUNTY PLANS The LRHL requires a review of any significant relationship between the Redevelopment Plan and County Plans (N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-7.a(5)(b)). The most current version of the Essex County Master Plan is the Land Use/Housing Element, adopted in August 1980. The Area aligns with the relevant goals of the Essex County Plans. 9.3 RELATIONSHIP TO MASTER PLANS OF CONTIGUOUS MUNICIPALITIES The LRHL requires a review of any significant relationship between the Redevelopment Plan and the Master Plans of adjacent municipalities (N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-7.a(5)(a)). West Orange shares its borders with the Township of Verona, the Township of Montclair, the Township of the City of Orange, the Village of South Orange, the Township of Maplewood, the Township of Millburn, the Township of Livingston, the Borough of Roseland, and the Borough of Essex Fells. The boundaries of the Area do not abut any of the nearby municipalities but, the Area is located approximately two blocks to the west of the City of Orange Township. This Redevelopment Plan proposes interior and exterior renovations to the existing office building’s ground floor. The proposed permitted and accessory uses will complement the surrounding commercial district. The Plan, therefore, will have no associated impact on the nearby municipalities. 10 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN The mechanisms by which a redevelopment plan is implemented are statutorily imposed by the Local Redevelopment and Housing Law.

n. 10.2 APPROVAL OF A DESIGNATED DEVELOPER In order to redevelop a property within the Area, an entity must first be designated as a Redeveloper by the Redevelopment Entity. It is anticipated that the current owner of the property will seek to be designated to undertake the redevelopment and the Township does not intend to engage in any solicitation process for potential redevelopers for the Area. Tenants are not required to be designated as redevelopers. In order to be considered for approval and designation as a redeveloper for the Area, redevelopers will be required to submit to the Redevelopment Entity for review and approval (1) an estimated time schedule, (2) conceptual site plans including visual plans and elevations at a minimum, and (3) an explanation illustrating how the project is in compliance with the Redevelopment Plan.
