A state superior court judge upheld the Princeton Regional Planning Board’s decison to deny Regent’s Mead continuing-care community application.
A state Superior Court judge has upheld the Princeton Regional Planning Board’s December decision to deny an application for the 628,000-square-foot Regent’s Mead continuing-care retirement community on the former Our Lady of Princeton site.
Superior Court Judge Linda Feinberg ruled Friday that the Planning Board had the legal authority to deny the application based on a lack of jurisdiction because of the type of variance required. The applicant, Princeton Lifestyles LLC, can submit an application to the Princeton Township Zoning Board of Adjustment, Judge Feinberg said.
Joseph Del Duco, the attorney representing Princeton Lifestyles, said Friday that the developer can appeal Judge Feinberg’s decision but “we have to decide what to do.”
The developer had proposed constructing four new buildings on the 43-acre Our Lady of Princeton property. The 628,000-square-foot retirement community would be comprised of 215 independent-living units, 44 skilled-care units and 42 assisted-living units.
