Town Stops Overdevelopment on “Bald Eagle Property”
MONROE TOWNSHIP, N.J. – March 10, 2025 – A state appellate court upheld the Monroe Township Zoning Board’s 2019 decision to deny a developer’s application that would have added too many housing units to a parcel on Route 33. This project was part of state-mandated “round three” affordable housing.
On March 7, the appellate court reversed the decision of a trial court, likely putting an end to a six-year battle with a developer, CT07 SPII LLC and DT07 SPII LLC, which tried to overdevelop a 48-acre site with an unacceptable amount of high-density housing. The developer can still submit a plan to build on the property, but not at the same intensive level of housing the zoning board rejected as excessive.
