Berkeley Approves 20 Townhouses Off Sloop Creek Road

BERKELEY, NJ — Berkeley Township's Zoning Board of Adjustment approved a site plan application from Stonehill at Berkeley, LLC for a 20-unit townhouse development, according to a public notice.

The 20 two-story townhouses will be in five buildings on Sloop Creek Road. Each townhouse will have two bedrooms; condominium association by-laws will prevent an office/study area from being rented out and turned into a third bedroom, according to public notice.

The development will be served by a new private road connecting Sloop Creek Road to South Avenue.

The about 4.22 acre property was previously approved for an 11-lot single family subdivision. Multifamily housing is not an approved zoning use in that area, so the proposal previously had to go before the Zoning Board of Adjustment for a use variance.

The resolution approving the application, along with the plans and related documents, is on file in the Berkeley Township Zoning Board Office, according to the notice. Those materials are available for public inspection during regular business hours.
