Planning Board Meeting - July 16, 2026

The Municipality of Princeton Planning Board held a meeting on July 16, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions focused on site development approvals and extensions, as well as the installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at the Princeton Shopping Center. The board approved a preliminary and final major site development resolution for Toll NJ1 LLC and granted a one-year extension of vesting rights for a major site plan at 217 Witherspoon Street, allowing the continuation of a 4-unit building project. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to reviewing and approving an application by Ayanna LLC to install four dual-port EV chargers with associated transformers and switchgear, including requests for signage variances due to the lack of specific municipal regulations on EV charger branding. The board discussed technical details such as parking adjustments, ADA compliance, landscaping including tree removal and replacement, lighting, and signage. The board voted to grant the requested C variances for signage with conditions including proper tree replacement and obtaining a letter of support from the property owner, Edens. The meeting concluded with the scheduling of the next meeting and the continuation of a separate application to October 15, 2026.
