The portion of the property in the Borough of Magnolia is located in the Borough of Magnolia's Heavy Industrial "H-I" Zoning District, with a street address of Commerce Drive/N. Atlantic Avenue and more particularly identified as Block 7, Lot 2.05 on the Official Tax Maps of the Borough of Magnolia (the "Magnolia Property).
The portion of the property and the existing building located in the Borough of Barrington are located in an M-2 Industrial Zoning District, with a street address of 1 Commerce Drive (located at the intersection of Commerce Drive and East Atlantic Avenue), and more particularly identified as Block 13.02, Lot 1.01 on the Official Tax Maps of the Borough of Barrington (the "Barrington Property"). The Borough of Barrington Planning Board approved an Application for the development of the portion of the project on the Barrington Property on April 27, 2026.
The Applicant is proposing to install a 4,007.89f KW DC / 2,640.00 KW AC. solar photovoltaic array (the "Solar Facilities") on the roof of an existing 678,608 s.f. industrial building on both the Magnolia Property and the Barrington Property as a NJ Clean Energy, Community Solar Energy Program project pursuant to a lease between the Applicant and the property owner.
The proposed solar project requires no site disturbance on the Magnolia Property and there are no proposed changes to the building footprint, parking configuration, landscaping, drainage, lighting, or circulation patterns. As a result, the Applicant will request Waivers of many formal Site Plan requirements that would be more applicable to larger scale development. The limited ground-mounted improvements associated with the project will all be located on the Barrington Property.
At the same time the Applicant will also request that the Planning Board grant any and all other approvals, variances, de minimis exceptions, submission waivers, design waivers, and/or other such relief necessary to allow for the development of the proposed rooftop grid-tie solar photovoltaic system on the Overall Property.
Any interested person may appear in person, through his or her attorney, or through his or her designated agent at the public hearing at the time and place herein stated and be heard on this Application.
