A hearing to set the terms under which the RW @ River’s Edge condo project could be built was postponed last night at the request of the builder, today’s Asbury Park Press reports.
Meantime, attorneys for Red Bank and an affordable-housing advocacy group prepared to appear before the state Council on Affordable Housing next week over a challenge that the proposed 11-unit condo project gave rise to.
Zoning board officials said attorneys for RW requested that the application be pulled to give them more time to review the resolution of approval, a document that sets the conditions that must be met for the plan to go ahead, the Press reports.
COAH last week temporarily stripped the borough of its authority to approve any more multifamily projects pending the resolution of a claim by the Fair Share Housing Center of Cherry Hill that the town is not doing enough to provide affordable homes in town.
The borough contends it is more than meeting its obligations. The two sides are scheduled to argue their cases before the COAH board in Trenton on Wednesday.
