Summit Planning Board Meeting: October 26, 2026 LIVE

The City of Summit Planning Board meeting on October 26, 2026, included a site-plan hearing for Broad Morrison Rentals LLC’s proposed development at 131 Morris Avenue, 220 Broad Street, and 7–11 Ashwood Avenue. The applicant seeks preliminary and final site-plan approval and variances for a three-story mixed-use building with 20 apartments, including four affordable units, about 4,600 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, and 48 parking spaces. Board questions focused on parking allocation, vehicle and emergency access, deliveries, lighting, stormwater, construction staging, and pedestrian safety. The hearing was continued without further notice to November 23; no approval vote was taken. The separate 190 River Road application was carried to November 9 for deliberations and a vote.

The board adopted the master plan reexamination report by roll-call vote, with minor edits. Discussion included a recommendation to budget for a comprehensive new master plan in 2027 and continued consideration of data centers and electric-vehicle infrastructure. No contract awards, purchasing decisions, or public spending allocations were made; the board noted that a closed session to review RFQs was planned for the November 23 meeting.
