Legal Notice for Publication
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that ABBA KARAS REALTY LLC (the "Applicant") has filed an application bearing Application Number P-25-022 with the Planning Board of the City of Bayonne regarding the real property located at 9-11 Schuyler Place, Block 289, Lot(s) 5 on the Tax Map of the City of Bayonne (the "Property"). The aforementioned application seeks the following relief:
The Property is currently a large 2-family house. The applicant seeks Planning Board approval to demolish the existing house, subdivide the lot into three 25'x154.32 lots, and construct an attractive new 2-family house on each of the lots with parking. Due to zoning ordinance changes to the definition of a story, a variance is now required for construction of a typical 2-family house like this one with a garage on the first floor because the first floor now counts as an entire floor and only 2.5 floors are allowed in this zone. Applicant seeks a variance allowing its proposed construction of 3 stories instead of the 2.5 that is technically required in this zone. It should be noted that the applicant does not require a height variance, since the proposed construction will be 35' high or less and R-2 allows for up to 35' height. Furthermore R-2 currently requires 30' frontage/lot width for conforming lots. At the time every other lot was designated on this block the zoning ordinances required only 25' frontage. Therefore the subject property, with 75' frontage, would have previously been a conforming triple lot but it now may require a variance in order to subdivide into three 25' lots per the applicant's proposal. Such variance for lot frontage/width is being sought by the applicant. It should be noted that lot area would be conforming due to the depth of the proposed lots. Any additional approvals, permits, variances, interpretations, waivers or exceptions reflected in the plans and materials filed (as same may be amended or revised from time to time without further notice) or determined to be necessary during the review and processing or hearing of this application will also be sought.
A public hearing for this application is scheduled for Tuesday, October 14, 2026 at 6:00p.m. at Dorothy E. Harrington Municipal Council Chambers, 630 Avenue C, Bayonne, NJ 07002 before the Planning Board. Any interested party may appear at said hearing and participate therein in accordance with the rules of the Planning Board. All maps and documents related to this application are on file in the City of Bayonne Division/Office of Planning and/or Zoning and are available for inspection during regular municipal business hours at 630 Avenue C, Bayonne, NJ 07002. They may also be available electronically either on the City of Bayonne Division/Office of Planning and/or Zoning website or by calling or e-mailing the City of Bayonne Division/Office of Planning and/or Zoning.
