NOTICE OF DECISION

NOTICE OF DECISION Please take notice that the Cherry Hill Township Zoning Board of Adjustment ("Board") has granted an application for development filed by BAPS Cherry Hill LLC ("Applicant") regarding real property with a street address of 5 Carnegie Plaza and designated as block 468.03, lot 5 on the current municipal tax map. The Board granted preliminary and final major site plan approval and variance relief permitting the Applicant to expand the building by approximately 18,330 s.f. (from 65,650 s.f. to 83,980 s.f. +/-), together with expanded parking and other associated improvements. The Board approved variances under the municipal land use ordinance including the following: 1. Section 419.B - A use variance under N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70(D)(2) (expansion of a nonconforming use) from §419.B of the Zoning Ordinance, to permit the expansion of a legal nonconforming house of worship/religious institution in the IR zone, where such uses are not specifically permitted. The Board approved the Applicant's request to expand the nonconforming use, as described above. 2. Section 40-419.F.1.– permits a maximum building height of 35 feet. The Board approved a building height of approximately 58' (as measured to the top of the tower elements/shikhara above the roofline of the temple). A shikhara is a tower element or spire above the main shrine of a Hindu temple, or mandir. The Board also approved a building height that exceeds the ordinance limit on the east side of the building in the gymnasium area of approximately 49.5 feet, as a result of the additional interior space in the building. These proposed building heights exceed the ordinance limit of 35' by more than 10 feet or 10% of the ordinance maximum building height, therefore, a variance was granted pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70(D)(6). The Board granted this application on June 25, 2026 and its decision was memorialized in a written resolution that the Board adopted on July 16, 2026. A copy of the memorializing resolution is filed in the office of the municipal administrative officer. A copy is available to any interested party for a reasonable fee and is available for public inspection during municipal business hours. Del Duca Lewis & Berr, LLC Attorneys for Applicant 21 E.
