The City of Paterson Planning Board held a virtual meeting (metadata date: October 21, 2026; the chair stated October 23, 2026) and considered three residential land-use applications. No procurement, contract award, purchasing decision, or budget allocation was identified. For 107 North 4th Street / 5–7 Inglis Place, the board approved subdivision of a 5,000-square-foot parcel into lots for the existing two-family home and a proposed two-family dwelling; the subdivision passed 6–1–1, and site-plan and bulk-variance approval passed 6–2. The revised proposal reduced the new building from three stories to two and added four parking spaces, with variances required for parking in the front setback and other dimensional requirements.

For 10–12 Lewis Street, the board unanimously approved demolition of the existing structures and construction of a three-story, five-unit residential building, with variances including six proposed parking spaces where eight were required. Approval conditions included no parking fee for tenants, no e-bikes on the property, and dividing basement storage into five tenant spaces. For 262–266 East 29th Street, the board approved subdivision of a vacant 5,000-square-foot parcel into two lots for one-family homes; subdivision and site-plan/bulk-variance motions each passed 6–2. Residents raised concerns about neighborhood character, density, parking, drainage, and property maintenance. No broader policy change was adopted.
