LAND USE AND PLANNING

26-2-6701 Bergen Passaic LTAC, LLC v. City of Hackensack Zoning Bd. of Adjustment, App. Div. (per curiam) (28 pp.) Plaintiff Bergen Passaic LTACH appealed from a judgment of the Law Division dismissing with prejudice its complaint in lieu of prerogative writs. Plaintiff sought reversal of the decision of the City of Hackensack Zoning Board of Adjustment denying variances and site plan approval so that plaintiff can build a high-rise long-term acute care hospital (LTACH) combined with a dialysis facility and adult daycare center in a residential zoning district near the Hackensack University Medical Center. The board reasonably concluded that plaintiff's proposed development is much bigger than the site would accommodate and would detrimentally affect the neighboring residential properties. It also reasonably concluded that the proposed development could not be reconciled with the City's master plan and zoning ordinances. Numerous bulk variances were required as well as the use variance for the facilities that were not otherwise permitted in the zoning district. The appellate panel found nothing arbitrary, capricious, or unreasonable in the board's conclusions. Further, the board considered contrary testimony from opposing experts and it rationally explained its credibility decisions relating to the detrimental effects of the project, including inadequate parking and unsafe vehicular circulation at the site, and the deprivation of light, air, and open space of neighboring residential properties. The appellate panel affirmed the Law Division's judgment.

Court upholds Hackensack Zoning Board's decision in LTACH case


MAY 29, 2015    LAST UPDATED: FRIDAY, MAY 29, 2015, 1:09 PM
BY JENNIFER VAZQUEZ
NEWS EDITOR | HACKENSACK CHRONICLE

HACKENSACK - The Prospect Avenue Coalition can breathe a sigh of relief now that an appeals court has upheld the Hackensack Zoning Board's decision to deny a site plan application by a nursing home developer who sought to build a multi-story care facility and dialysis clinic on that street.

...

Following 22 hearings, the Hackensack Zoning Board denied the proposal. The appellate court found that the board "concluded reasonably" that the development was bigger than the site would accommodate, would detrimentally affect the neighboring residential properties and that the proposal could not be reconciled with the city's master plan and zoning ordinances.

"We find nothing arbitrary, capricious, or unreasonable in the Board's conclusion," the three-judge appeals panel said in their per curiam decision.

...

Attorney John N. Visconi, who was filling in for the borough attorney Thomas P. Scrivo during the Committee of the Whole meeting on May 18, said it is unclear if the plaintiff will seek further action. Scrivo represented the city during the appeals process.

"The appellate division upheld the trial court's affirmation of the board's decision," Visconi said. "It was a 3-0 decision...it's unclear right now if the plaintiff will appeal any further."

The unanimous decision makes the case's chances of being heard by the New Jersey Supreme Court less likely, but Pineles could petition the higher court for an appeal.

Pineles did not return request for comment.

LTACH APPEAL UPDATE

Bergen County freeholders hear Hackensack opposition to medical waste disposal plan

JANUARY 14, 2015, 8:06 PM    LAST UPDATED: WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14, 2015, 8:06 PM
BY TODD SOUTH
STAFF WRITER | THE RECORD

HACKENSACK — A group of more than 30 residents and Hackensack City Council members came to the Bergen County Freeholders meeting Wednesday to speak out against an application by a Prospect Avenue senior care center’s owner to neutralize medical waste at the site.

...

Pineles is still in a lengthy zoning battle involving his application to the Hackensack Zoning Board to allow him to build the 19-story Bergen-Passaic Long Term acute Care Hospital on 1.15 acres on Summit Avenue that would extend to Prospect Avenue. The board denied the application on quality-of-life grounds in January 2012. Pineles filed a lawsuit and a state Superior Court judge upheld the board’s decision in August 2013. That decision was appealed.

And he is on to his next project. More commercial use of our beautiful residential neighborhood.
For those of you who are interested and can attend a public hearing on October 2, 2013, at The Bergen County Utilities Authority, Administration Building, Foot of Mehrhof Road, Little Ferry, New Jersey, at 10:00 A.M. in the Public Meeting Room. See the thread re Prospect Heights Medical Waste Treatment Expansion at http://www.hackensacknow.org/index.php/topic,2791.0.html. Please post your comments if you attend.

@Bergen07601, congratulations to the residents and a big thank you to those who attended the trial. ProspectAvenueCoalition will continue to closely monitor the 336 Prospect Avenue proposed Plan Amendment: The Bergen County District Solid Waste Management Plan is hereby amended to incorporate the Prospect Heights Care Center SteriMed System 70 Medical Waste Treatment Unit located at Lot 10, Block 341, 336 Prospect Avenue, Hackensack, New Jersey, 07601.

Several ProspectAvenueCoalition members attended the Public Hearing on October 2, 2013. These residents asked many questions regarding the potential harm that operating a medical waste unit of this type may cause to the residents living in the World Plaza and Ritz Plaza in addition to any other residential buildings nearby. The Bergen County Utilities Authority did not have ready answers for some of their questions.
 
Following the hearing the proposed Plan Amendment is pending agency approval. If approved by the requisite agencies then Pineles would still require Hackensack Zoning Board approval as the medical waste treatment unit is not a permitted use on Prospect Avenue.
