# Paterson, NJ Monday September 28, 2026 Planning Board Meeting (virtual)

The City of Paterson Planning Board met virtually on September 28, 2026, and approved two residential development applications; no procurement or contract-award activity was identified. For 124–128 Lawrence Street, the board approved a minor subdivision and site plan with bulk variances to create two lots and construct two three-story, two-family dwellings. The 7–0 approvals were conditioned on a deed restriction limiting each building to two-family use, code-compliant railings on the rear stairs, and no separate fee for parking. Commissioners and residents raised concerns about the proposed tandem parking and neighborhood street-parking shortages; the applicant said one building would be occupied by family and committed to using the garages for parking.

The board also approved the site plan and bulk variances for 316–320 Caldwell Avenue, proposed by 316 Caldwell Avenue LLC, for a four-story, eight-unit apartment building with parking on the first floor, residential units above, and a rooftop terrace and community rooms. The applicant described 16 proposed off-street spaces, while testimony gave differing figures for the number required and provided. Public comments focused on existing parking and drainage concerns and potential headlights and trash impacts for a neighboring property. The application passed with six conditions; the discussion included providing a barrier to address light spillover, with details subject to further review. Exact particulars of all six conditions were not clearly captured in the transcript.
