Generally, the council looked cautiously favorably on the development, with some caveats that it should aesthetically conform to the overall look envisioned for the Boulevard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI, for one, am in favor of the mixed-use,\u201d said Mayor Anthony Vaz. \u201cIf we\u2019re going to have a destination for tourism and trade, we have to have mixed-use \u2013 from dining, to a retailer of clothing or other eateries, we need a business district on the Boulevard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vaz, however, also spoke to the benefits of a company like Hovnanian choosing Seaside Heights for investment, noting that a similar project the company built in Naples, Fla. fit in well with the surrounding business district. The townhome development, if proposed, would likely conform to borough zoning codes, and the Offshore Motel site is not among properties which have been formally declared redevelopment areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPerhaps they can make it with an ambience where people would say, \u2018wow, that\u2019s pretty,\u2019\u201d Vaz said. \u201cSince they\u2019re in compliance, it\u2019s a new building and they\u2019re cleaning up a disastrous area, I\u2019d have to say I would be in favor of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12710\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/lavallette-seaside\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/seaside_heights_dupont_boulevard_761-scaled.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-2\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"The Boulevard and Dupont Avenue, Seaside Heights, N.J., Dec. 2022.
