Ridgewood may soon see a new stretch of land on Route 17 south with commercial properties on it, after the Planning Board voted on Tuesday to amend the village’s Master Plan to rezone the land from residential to commercial.
The 2-acre property near the intersection of Paramus Road and Linwood Avenue is owned by Malvern Burroughs, who, with his attorney, Thomas Wells, has come forward several times in the past year to attempt to convince the board to rezone the land.
Wells said he and his client were “very pleased” with the board’s decision.
