Click in the image to the right to see the February 25, 2021 Consistency Report:
This report is a report that was prepared for the Phillipsburg Land Use Board to consider when deciding whether they believed the changing of the Peron Howard Street property was consistent with the various versions of the Master Plans.
The last Master Plan revision was the 2013 Master Plan Reexamination Report which clearly indicated that the Peron Howard Street property was to be Riverside Residential. The 2013 Master Plan Reexamination Report even says the town should look into rezoning the strip of light industrial should be rezoned to something more complimentary to the existing residential property in the Flats and the current light industrial business should be moved elsewhere. The 2013 Master Plan Reexamination Report says that the three types of zones that should be in the area discussed in the February 25, 2021 Consistency report are Riverside Residential, Riverside Commercial and Riverside Heritage. Although loosly alluding to the recommendations of the 2013 Master Plan Reexamination Report, this 2015 Consistency Review Report largely shrugs off and ignores the spirit and intent of the 2013 Master Plan Reexamination Report.
