Ridgewood Planning Board re-examining master plan

The Ridgewood Planning Board has begun the process of re-examining the village’s Master Plan.

The board will use the state-mandated review to identify areas in the village that might need to be changed, including: the Route 17 business corridor, rezoning Goffle Road, historic sites, and open space areas.

New Jersey requires municipal planning boards to re-examine their master plans and development regulations every 10 years. The examination report created at the end of the process will be shared with the Village Council and Board of Adjustment.

The board must complete its review and adopt the examination report by February 2016.

The last re-examination took place in 2006.
