Ridgewood resident proposes zone change from residential to commercial

At a time when the Planning Board is faced with a controversial request to add a high-density residential use to the Central Business District, residents of Goffle Road have approached the Planning Board with an opposite request: a blanket rezone that would turn the remaining residential lots on their road to commercial lots.
The proposal would allow homeowners to sell their lots to developers, possibly The Valley Hospital, and increase their home values, according to Goffle Road resident Ed Boscarino, who made the request.
“We on Goffle Road believe it would be to our benefit,” Boscarino told The Ridgewood News. “Developers would come in and build whatever the community needs, office buildings, mixed-use … Any office type of things would be very good for the village.”
Boscarino, a realtor, spoke to the board on Tuesday night about his idea, noting that he has spoken to other neighbors who were in favor of the proposal. Board Chairman Charles Nalbantian noted that he would look over Boscarino’s request and put it on a future agenda.
