THE RECORD

WALDWICK — A developer whose plans for an assisted-living facility were rejected by the borough’s Zoning Board of Adjustment in July has sued the board, claiming its decision was “arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable,” and should be reversed.

The lawsuit filed in state Superior Court last month asks that the site plan for Formation-Shelbourne Senior Living Services’ proposed 79-unit, 94-bed facility at Wyckoff and Crescent avenues be approved because the board “did not follow the guidelines and mandates of pertinent case law” in regard to issuing variances on conditional-use requirements.

Also, it claims the decision was “contrary to the standards, criteria and requirements” of New Jersey municipal land use law, and “inconsistent” with the evidence presented during the application’s 16 hearings.
