# Jersey City Planning Board Meeting October 5, 2026

The Jersey City Planning Board held a meeting on October 5, 2026. The main item was case B2025-0244 for 3000 Kennedy Boulevard, a proposed 51-story, 1,454-unit residential development with 146 affordable units, ground-floor retail, and 151 public valet parking spaces. The applicant described requested site-plan variances and discussed loading and garage operations, pedestrian circulation, setbacks, and street landscaping. Board members raised unresolved concerns about truck turning movements near a school, valet circulation and pedestrian safety, and sidewalk width. The applicant agreed to follow up with the city’s traffic reviewers and consider design changes, including widening the sidewalk at a corner and confirming whether additional drainage inlets are needed. The application was not approved; it was carried to December 8, 2026, for further review, with no further public notice required.

Separately, the board approved memorialization of four resolutions, including one authorizing requests for qualifications for professional services for Planning Board positions identified in the transcript as attorney and court stenographer. The transcript gives no contract amounts or selected vendors. No other procurement award or purchasing decision was identified.
