Zoning, Speed Limit Changes On Tap For Moorestown Council

MOORESTOWN, NJ — Moorestown Council will consider zoning changes for affordable housing and changing the speed limit on Borton Landing Road when it meets Monday night.

Moorestown Council will meet on Monday night at town hall, 111 West Second Street. A workshop will take place at 7 p.m., followed by the official action meeting at 7:30 p.m.

The first proposed ordinance council will consider would change the speed limit on Borton Landing Road to 40 mph between Hartford Road and Creek Road.

The second order of business is a proposal establishing mixed-use overlay districts for the Moorestown Mall and the K-Mart Plaza. Both are currently designated as specially restricted commercial districts. The change would allow for a mix of development and retail on those properties.

The workshop portion of the meeting will include a discussion about the attendance policy for boards and committees. Council will also discuss leasing township property for farming and extending a lease that currently expires in the spring.

There are 18 items on the consent agenda, including the appointments of McManimon, Scotland and Baumann LLC as bond counsel and as utilities and storm water counsel. These items were delayed from the reorganization meeting after questions emerged concerning possible political contributions.
