Below is a list of properties where either the Borough or a private developer is proposing redevelopment that is likely to be of interest to the general public:

542 Goffle Road - Patriot Development Corp.

The owner of the property has submitted a revised application to Hawthorne's Zoning Board of Adjustment for a residential development consisting of 20 townhomes and 4 single-family houses on this 5.9-acre site, reducing the number of units previously proposed.. This revised application will be heard by the Zoning Board of Adjustment on October 17, 2011.

896 Goffle Road

Puddingstone Goffle Holdings LLC had submitted an application for converting this former gas station into a 7-11 Convenience Store on the site of a former Shell Oil Service Station requiring a use variance and an impervious coverage variance in the R-1 Residence Zone. This application was denied by the Zoning Board of Adjustment on 8/15/2011, an action the Board confirmed by resolution on 9/19/2011. The applicant has filed an appeal of this decision to the superior court. 

301 Sicomac Road, Wyckoff - Christian Health Care Center

The CHCC has proposed a 258-unit senior living complex for their property which straddles the Hawthorne-Wyckoff boundary.  Eighty-six of these units would be in Hawthorne.  Although an application has been submitted to Hawthorne's Zoning Board of Adjustment, the CHCC has decided not to pursue the matter before Hawthorne's Board until they have a decision from the Wyckoff Borough Zoning Board of Adjustment, which is currently hearing the matter.

204 Wagaraw Road - Hawthorne Marketplace

The Borough Council revised the zoning for this vacant 8.78-acre property, formerly owned by Merck, from industrial use to allow certain commercial use, making further amendments to the zoning requirements for allowable commerical uses via Ordinance 2054-11.  The Bedrin Group, the owner/developer,  has submitted an appliation to the Planning Board for a 
develiopment that includes a supermarket and additional retail stores. The hearing before the Planning Board on this project which began on November will be congtinued on December 22nd.  

1 Washington Ave. - One Washington Holdings LLC

Although at one time the owners of the Pan Chemical site were in negotiations for a possible lease with New Jersey Transit for a parking lot on on this 1.04 acre property, that deal appears to have fallen through .  At present, there is no proposed use for this site.  On 9/21/2011, the Borough Council voted to initiate legal action against both the current and former owners of the property to force environmental clean-up.

55 Westervelt Avenue - Millview Lofts

The Planning Board approved plans on 9/16/2008 for conversion of the vacant industrial building on this 1.28-acre site into a 31-unit residential complex.  A buyer who intends to build the project as approved is currently in negotiations with the original applicant to purchase the property.  No application for a building permit has yet been submitted.

116 Washington Avenue

Boswell Engineering has reviewed the plans for this application and has deemed the plans to be complete.  This industrial property will be converted to  residential rental units. The developers of this property have previously completed a similar conversion at  33 Forest Avenue.  This project was APPROVED and is now under construction.

This data, updated as of November, 2011, should not be considered to represent an exhaustive list of projects due to be heard by one of Hawthorne's boards.  Please refer to the agendas of the Planning and Zoning Boards for current pending applications.  An application to the Zoning Board of Adjustment indicates that a proposed project does not fully comply with current zoning and therefore requires one or more variances before development could occur.  Listing of these projects here should not be considered endorsement by the Borough.
