Congratulations are in order! 👏 Specifically to the Town of #Morristown who is now the recipient of a 2024 Achievements in Planning Award from New Jersey Planning Officials for the 2023 Amended Land Development Ordinance (LDO), drafted by the folks here at Topology. ✍ Five years after its original adoption, this #LDO Amendment, approved by the Morristown Town Council last summer, includes a wide range of updates to enhance development outcomes, improve the application process, and respond to land use impacts of the pandemic. Since the original LDO was adopted in 2018, Topology has applied these codes on countless projects. Each has taught us valuable lessons, all of which are reflected in the new document, which includes over 400 amendments, some minor and some major. This project was led by Topology's Phil Abramson and Marc Lincer, who over the past several years has gone on to apply lessons learned here in other municipalities. Congrats to all involved on this major achievement! 🏆 Learn more and read the full LDO here: https://lnkd.in/edw6zRHH See the full list of award recipients and buy tickets to the awards breakfast here: https://lnkd.in/eQiFfPGb #NJPO #MorristownNJ #zoning #njzoning #zoningcodes #landdevelopmentordinance #njplanners #njplanningfirm

'Cause down the shore everything's all right. 🏖 Earlier this month, Topology Principal Golda Speyer, PP, AICP, PMP® celebrated a significant victory for our private client in the BOROUGH OF SEASIDE PARK, where we successfully secured unanimous approval for several use variances from the Borough's Planning Board. 🙌 Our client sought to redevelopment an existing non-conforming mixed-use structure and two-family residence along the boulevard, aiming to undertake substantial site and code upgrades. This reinvestment not only revitalizes the property but also aligns with #SeasidePark’s long-term vision for its community. In representing our client, Topology demonstrated that the “D” and “C” variances met all necessary criteria without causing any substantial impact. Our approach ensured that the proposed upgrades advanced the goals outlined in the Borough’s Master Plan, which emphasizes “rehabilitation and infill of the housing stock where appropriate while maintaining the character, scale and privacy of the established residential neighborhoods in the Borough.” This win is another example of Topology’s expertise in navigating complex zoning challenges as well as our commitment to fostering thoughtful, community-centered development. 🏗 Congratulations to Marco Malavarca Architecture + Design, Dudonis Construction LLC, RISE Properties LLC, and the rest of the project team. 👏 📷 Rendering courtesy of Marco Malavarca Architecture + Design #SeasideParkNJ #planningtestimony #experttestimony #njredevelopment #njplanners #njplanningfirm

🎵 They call it Paterson! What! The Silk City! Paterson! What! The Silk City! 🎵 Last Friday the Topology crew got together at historic Hinchliffe Stadium in the City of Paterson to take in a little independent league baseball and award-winning urbanism during "British Invasion Night". ⚾ Located just steps from the Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park, the Smart Growth Award-winning #HinchliffeStadium redevelopment revitalized the former Negro League stadium into a new #mixeduse destination now home to the New Jersey Jackals, Charles J. Muth Negro League Baseball Museum, a new restaurant, and affordable senior housing.
