1 Introduction This Plan Is an Amendment to the Schuyler Avenue
Introduction This Plan is an amendment to the Schuyler Avenue Redevelopment Plan, which was originally adopted by the Town Council in January 2002. This amended plan supersedes the 2002 Plan. When it was originally prepared, the Plan created six zoning districts, including a Large-Scale Commercial District, Light Industrial District, Automobile Oriented Commercial District, Mixed-Use District, Open Space, Park & Recreation District, and Residential District. Subsequent to the adoption of the Schuyler Redevelopment Plan in 2002, a portion of the area is being targeted for transportation improvements. NJTRANSIT plans on implementing passenger service by reactivating the Harrison-Kingsland Branch line in Kearny. This is one of several initiatives to meet NJ Transit’s need for improved service and increased capacity associated with the new Trans-Hudson Tunnel, or what is commonly known as the ARC project. The new passenger facility would be located in the area where Bergen Avenue crosses under the rail line. It would offer passenger service connections to New York City and other destinations on the Northeast Corridor. This proposed transit improvement offers an opportunity to re-examine a portion of the Schuyler Avenue Redevelopment Plan and take advantage of the potentially new train station by promoting a transit-oriented community along Bergen Avenue. Where appropriate, changes have been made to the plan to reflect this potential. This plan acknowledges the current planning initiative funded by NJ TRANSIT in partnership with the Town of Kearny to develop a community-based vision for a future station area. Specifically, the amended plan establishes a new Transit-Oriented District for parcels located along both sides of Bergen Avenue, from the Harrison-Kingsland rail right-of-way to Schuyler Avenue.

NJAPZA celebrates 16 years of promoting an efficient land use process through education, shared resources, and uniform practices and procedures. An Affiliate of the New Jersey Planning Officials since 1989 2 B. Budd Chavooshian Memorial Fellowship On this occasion, NJPO is proud to reach the milestone of contributing a total amount of $15,000 toward the B. Budd Chavooshian Memorial Fellowship, established at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. The Fellowship is in recognition of Budd's unique dedication and leadership in developing local planning in New Jersey. Dr. James Hughes, Dean of the Bloustein School, coordinates the fund and will accept the donation from NJPO tonight. Budd Chavooshian was dedicated to sound land use planning in New Jersey throughout his career. He pioneered many innovative concepts that are now part of New Jersey’s landscape. The concept of transfer of development rights, recently enacted into statewide legislation, was an idea that he vigorously championed for almost two decades. Following his retirement, Budd continued working on committees and projects for NJPO, and completed a four year term as Vice President in December 1998. He took great pride in organizing NJPO state planning conferences and chaired his last, in celebration of the 60th anniversary of NJPO, in April 1999.

1 New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority Meadowlands District
New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority Meadowlands District 2019 – 2023 Wetland Program Plan The overall program goal of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority’s (NJSEA) Meadowlands District 2019 – 2023 Wetland Program Plan (WPP) is to preserve, protect, monitor and restore the more than 4300 acres of wetlands and other natural habitat that lie within the Meadowlands District. Formerly known as the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission, NJSEA continues to undertake the founding mandates of the Commission which include protecting the delicate balance of nature under changing conditions within this urban environment. The strategy for reaching this goal rests on five main initiatives: 1. Preserve existing wetland and other natural open space habitat owned and managed by the NJSEA within the Meadowlands District; 2. Monitor and assess the wetland and other natural habitats of the Meadowlands to better understand the complex urban ecosystem, and prepare for future changing conditions; 3. Restore and protect degraded wetland and other natural habitats within the District; 4. Acquire additional wetland and other natural habitats owned by others within the District for preservation, restoration and protection purposes; and, 5. Work in coordination with other land owners, land managers and non-profit organizations who work with or own land in the Meadowlands to assist them with preserving, restoring and protecting the wetlands and other natural habitats located within the District. 1 NJSEA’s Master Plan, scheduled for completion in the spring of 2020, states that it is essential to understand the District’s unique ecosystem to properly manage and maintain it. As such, NJSEA continues to monitor and assess its existing wetland habitats, target and prioritize potential preservation and restoration sites for acquisition, and pursue funding opportunities to further restore and protect degraded wetland habitat located within the District.
