Old Bridge faces lawsuit after zoning board blocks storage project
Old Bridge is being sued after a zoning board rejected a plan for a self-storage facility.Summary
Prime Space Capital LLC is suing the Old Bridge Zoning Board of Adjustment after the board unanimously denied a January vote to approve a three-story self-storage facility on an 8.53-acre property at the corner of Route 18 and Pine Street. The proposal, which required a use variance, aimed to demolish five houses and the Suburban Cap business to build a 114,152-square-foot facility in the township's R-40 low-density residential zone. The board rejected the plan, citing its inconsistency with the neighborhood's character and potential adverse impact on residential tranquility. The developer argues the board's decision was arbitrary and unreasonable, while the board maintains that even a scaled-down version would be a substantial detriment to the area.
