NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
BOROUGH OF BERNARDSVILLE
ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on Monday, May 4, 2026, at 7:30 P.M., in the Borough of Bernardsville Council Chambers at the Borough Hall, 166 Mine Brook Road, 2nd Floor, Bernardsville, New Jersey, 07924, the Zoning Board of Adjustment will hold a public hearing on the application of applicant Mount Airy Holdings, LLC. ("Applicant") in connection with the property located at 161 Mount Airy Rd, Bernardsville, New Jersey, formally identified as Block 119, Lot 7, on the Tax Maps of the Borough of Bernardsville (the "Property" or the "Site").
Applicant has filed an appeal pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70(a) from a determination of the Interim Zoning Officer, dated January 7, 2025, which denied Applicant's Zoning Permit Application for a change of occupancy to continue using the property as a contractor's storage yard.
The subject of the appeal is Applicant's contention that the proposed use constitutes a lawful continuation of the Property's preexisting nonconforming contractor's storage yard, previously recognized by the Board under Resolution #21-12, and not a new or substantially different use requiring (D)(1) or (D)(2) use variance relief. Applicant seeks reversal of the January 7, 2026, determination and such other relief as may be necessary and proper.
Interested parties may review the appropriate files during the Board's regular business hours, Monday through Friday (except holidays), at the Office of the Board Administrative Officer, 1 Anderson Hill Road, Suite 103, Bernardsville, NJ 07924. As of the date of this notice, Denise Filardo is the Board Administrative Officer, who can be contacted via phone at (908) 636-7635 or via e-mail dfilardo@bernardsville.gov. Files are also available via the Borough website www.bernardsville.gov on the Board of Adjustment pages.
