During December’s meeting, the Gloucester City Planning Board unanimously approved the resolution to recommend to the [Mayor and Council] that the property at Block 107, Lot 1, 2, 3, 16, 17, & 18 be redeveloped in accordance with statutes 40A:12A05 and 40A:12A-6.
Paraphrasing statute 40A:12A-5, the Board found that the property was deteriorating, abandoned, and publicly owned. These three criteria are covered under sections A, B, and C of 40A:12A-5, and any one of these criteria would have been sufficient to explore redevelopment at this property.
Gloucester City Zoning Officer Joe Stecklair attested that the property \”has deteriorated immensely. All though it is secure, it is a liability to the city.\”
The Board also reviewed photos of the property.
According to the Board’s worksheet, the property \”is bordered by Pine Street, Fifth Street, Water Street, and property owned by the Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority which contains a pumping station.
