\"The<\/a>

The Hooper-Caudina Redevelopment Area, Toms River, N.J. (Planning Document)<\/p><\/div>\n

Toms River\u2019s planning board next month will hear an application for the development of several portions of the Hooper-Caudina Redevelopment Area, located in the vicinity of Hooper, Caudina and Bay avenues in the central portion of the township.<\/p>\n

The large redevelopment area includes several subsections, consisting of the now-operating Veterans Administration outpatient center, a government campus that is under construction and a portion that will be privately developed by SP Acquisition Associates II, LLC, a Pennsylvania firm that builds commercial properties. The July 2 hearing before the board will cover four lots known as \u201cSubarea C\u201d of the redevelopment zone, which comprises portions of the Seacourt Pavilion property. Its postal addresses are 635 Bay Avenue; 1131 Hooper Avenue; 362 Caudina Avenue; and 1127 Hooper Avenue.<\/p>\n

According to a filing with the board, SP Group is proposing to subdivide the property to create four new lots, each of which will host different business developments.<\/p>\n

The southeast lot is proposed to be developed with an approximately 33,000 square foot, three-story self-storage facility with six\u00a0 parking spaces and ancillary improvements. The proposed development requires variance relief to permit a building coverage of approximately 21.5 percent, where the maximum building coverage is 15 percent; six parking spaces where a minimum of 66 parking spaces are required; an off-street loading area in the front yard, where off-street loading areas are limited to the side and rear yards; and minor relief for an off-street parking space and promotional sign.<\/p>\n

SP is pitching a retail pad site for the southwest lot, consisting of an approximately 6,440 square foot, one-story restaurant with a drive-thru, 36 parking spaces and ancillary improvements. This portion also requires variance relief for a front yard setback of 89.7 feet where 100 feet is required; a parking lot front yard setback of 33 feet where 35 feet is required; and two fa\u00e7ade signs on the building, where only one is normally permitted.<\/p>\n

The middle lot would be developed with a commercial retail pad site, consisting of an approximately 11,178 sq. ft., one-story building, 163 parking spaces and additional improvements. Variance relief for this portion is minimal, with the developer seeking permission to deviate less than 4-feet on the front yard setback, and about 1.5 percent of occupied space beyond the minimum normally required.<\/p>\n

Finally, the northern lot is proposed to host another retail or restaurant pad site, consisting of an approximately 1,696 square foot building with a drive-thru, 17 parking spaces and ancillary improvements. Variance are being requested to permit a building area of approximately 1,696 square feet where 5,000 square feet is required, and a front yard setback of 87.9-feet, where 100 feet is required.<\/p>\n

The potential tenants for the pad sites were not named in the developer\u2019s proposal, nor the exact nature of the envisioned businesses aside from the storage facility.<\/p>\n

The planning board will hear the application Wednesday, July 2, 2025, at 6 p.m. at the township municipal complex, 33 Washington Street.<\/p>\n
