aden the range of uses in office districts by introducing restaurants, daycare facilities, personal and professional services, retail, and residential uses previously lacking. The SDRP also includes a State Plan Policy Map, which divides the state into regions known as Planning Areas. The Area is in the Metropolitan Planning Area (PA-1), which is characterized by intensive existing development and is the target for rehabilitation and redevelopment efforts. The goals for PA-1 include the following: • Provide for much of the State’s future growth in compact development and redevelopment. • Revitalize cities, towns and neighborhoods, and in particular overburdened neighborhoods. • Address existing legacy issues such as air pollution, urban heat islands, lead contamination, Brownfields, urban highways, and combined sewer systems. • Prevent displacement and gentrification. • Promote growth that occurs in Centers, other appropriate areas that are pedestrian friendly, and in compact transit-oriented forms. • Rebalance urbanization with natural systems. • Promote increased biodiversity and habitat restoration.

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. All relevant provisions of the LRHL shall apply to the implementation of this Plan. 10.1 PROPERTY ACQUISITION AND RELOCATION Acquisition of privately-owned property and displacement or relocation of any residents within the Area will not be necessary to effectuate the Redevelopment Plan and is not permitted under a Rehabilitation designation. 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

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.

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.

After that period, the Zoning Ordinance will regulate the development of the Area. 10.6 AMENDING THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN This Redevelopment Plan may be amended from time to time in compliance with the requirements of law, provided that with respect to any land in the project area previously disposed of by the Redevelopment Entity for use in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan, the Entity will notice the owner of such land whose interests therein may be materially affected by such amendment.
