HILLSBOROUGH TOWNSHIP LEGAL NOTICE PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Hillsborough Crossings, LLC (the “applicant”) has applied to the Hillsborough Township Zoning Board of Adjustment (hereinafter the “Zoning Board”), for use variance approvals for property known as Block 178, Lot 18.01 (formerly Lots 17.01 and 18), located at 692 Route 206, Hillsborough, New Jersey (the “property”), which property is located in the GA - Gateway A District (the “Zone”). The applicant previously received preliminary and final site plan, use and bulk variance approval for the construction of a mixed-use building at the property in the Zone, with commercial use on the first floor and 10 one-bedroom residential apartment units on the second floor. The use variance approval was granted as aforesaid inasmuch as the said mixed-use building is not a permitted use in the Zone, and also for the required floor area ratio (FAR) of the mixed-use building where the Zone requires a minimum of 0.175 FAR and maximum of 0.35 FAR and a 0.10 FAR is provided at the said mixed-use building. The said mixed-use building (the “existing building”) has been constructed by the applicant and the required site improvements are almost completely installed at the property. Through inadvertence and oversight, the approval was granted, building permits were issued, and construction commenced and nears completion where it has been determined that an ADA accessible apartment unit is required at the existing building. The applicant requests use variance approval only, to increase the previously approved number of residential apartment units from 10 one-bedroom units to 11 one-bedroom units, in order to use a portion of first floor area of the existing building, which was previously approved for commercial use only, to construct an ADA accessible one-bedroom apartment unit. The previously approved first floor commercial use square footage area is 7,783 s.f., which is proposed under this application to be reduced by 848 s.f. to 6,935 s.f. The new proposed first floor residential apartment use area is 904 s.f. which comprises the said 848 s.f. (reduced first floor commercial s.f.) plus an additional 56 s.f. of a first floor landlord space (which was not included in the previously approved commercial space area), for the total proposed first floor residential apartment use area of 904 s.f. The previously approved floor area ratio (FAR) of the existing building will not change as a result of this request. No other changes to the existing building and no changes to the property improvements are proposed or required, and thus there are no proposed changes to the previously approved site plan and/or other variances for the property. The applicant further requests any and all other variances, waivers and/or relief deemed necessary by the Zoning Board either prior to or at the time of public hearing. The Zoning Board will conduct a public hearing to obtain testimony on this application. The public hearing will take place during a meeting of the Zoning Board which will be called to order on May 1, 2024, at 7:00 P.M. in the Peter J. Biondi Building, 379 South Branch Road, Hillsborough, New Jersey 08844, and when this application is heard, any interested member of the public may appear in person or by attorney and present any comments regarding this application. This application is on file and available for public inspection in the Planning and Zoning Department, in the Peter J. Biondi Building, 379 South Branch Road, Hillsborough, New Jersey 08844, during normal business hours from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM. KEVIN H. MORSE, ESQ. Kevin H.
