Zoning Board to Hear Controversial Apartment Complex Proposal at July 30 Meeting

The Parsippany Zoning Board will convene on July 30, 2025, at Parsippany Hills High School to consider a proposal for a large apartment complex that does not comply with existing zoning regulations. The developer's request includes variances for building height exceeding 34 feet, impervious coverage of 55. 8%, and smaller parking spaces than required. Local residents are voicing concerns about the potential for increased traffic and the impact on neighborhood character due to overdevelopment. The existing site, located at the Islamic Community Cultural Center, poses various non-compliance issues, including inadequate lot area and setbacks.

Community members are encouraged to attend the meeting to learn more and share their opinions on the project. Additional details can be accessed through the community-run website, which aims to keep residents informed. The response from the community reflects significant interest in zoning relief and development impacts. Parsippany Focus will monitor the situation and provide further updates as they emerge.
