413 Railroad Square (Credit: Google Maps)<\/p><\/div>\n

A developer has proposed a new three-floor, mixed-use complex for a property off Route 35 in Point Pleasant Beach, adjacent to a popular bar and grill.<\/p>\n

The application by Lombardi Residential two mixed-use buildings at 413 Railroad Square, situated just north of Arnold Avenue, behind Frankie’s Bar and Grill. The buildings, which would stand three-stories tall, would replace an existing gym that exists on the property.<\/p>\n

A planning notice did not specify what types of businesses would occupy the commercial space in the complex. Businesses would take up a portion of the first floor, as proposed, with residential units being constructed on the top two floors. The project requires a few minor “bulk” variances, but also requires a use variance since the General Commercial zone, in which the development would be located, only allows for apartments on a second floor when there is a permitted use on the floor below. Since there will be residential space on the first floor, the borough has determined that the entire building is residential in nature, and requires a use variance.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Use variances require a more strict balance of positive and negative development criteria as well as a supermajority of zoning board members voting in favor of the application. Despite being located off a highway, the property is also within a historic district overlay zone, which normally requires first floor uses to be retail, restaurant or uses “that otherwise activate the street.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The zoning board will hear the application at its April 3, 2025 meeting, which is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at borough hall, 416 New Jersey Avenue.<\/p>\n
