Housing Developments on Tuesday Planning Board Agenda

Though Valley Hospital's latest expansion hopes are on the horizon, the planning board remains knee deep in another controversial Master Plan amendment matter – four housing developments proposed in Ridgewood's downtown.

On Tuesday at 7:30 p.m., the planning board will hold yet another meeting to discuss the merits of drafting new zoning law to allow for more than 320 units.

Having already discussed traffic and possible school impacts, the board is expected to spend much of Tuesday's meeting assessing its zoning options – multiple zones, an overlay zone, or even redevelopment zones.

A vote on a Master Plan amendment change is not expected to take place Tuesday night.
