The Monmouth Mall redevelopment plan has been revised with input from Eatontown officials. The revised plan reduces the number of apartments from 800 to 700 units. It also lowers the affordable housing requirement and eliminates some amenities like the hotel and golf course. The setback and buffer requirements have also been increased under the new zoning ordinance. However, some residents remain opposed and have challenged the new zoning, raising concerns about competition between the redeveloped mall and a potential second development site nearby.

25. EDITORIAL: Mall NIMBYs could be
costly to Eatontown
“We urge the mayor and council to
reconsider their decision and to reach out to
Kushner Cos. to develop a new plan that
will allow the mall to reinvent itself. If they
fail to do so, taxpayers in Eatontown are
destined to pay a heavy price.”

27. • A reduction in the number of apartments from 800 units to 700 units
• Kushner Companies' affordable housing obligation drops from 15 percent to 12.5 percent, thereby lowering
the number of onsite affordable housing units from 141 to 100 or offsite units from 120 to 88.
•The hotel and rooftop golf course have been eliminated from the zoning as permitted uses.
• No private or public schools or houses of worship will be allowed on the site.
•The front yard setbacks (from Routes 35 and 36 andWyckoff Road) have been increased to 125 feet and all
other yard setback have been increased to 150 feet.
•The maximum building height allowed has been reduced from 150 feet (the original proposed size of the hotel)
to 85 feet.
•The buffers must be at least 75 feet wide on any side yard that includes mixed use.
• Recreational entertainment uses shall not exceed 50 percent of the gross indoor or outdoor leasable space of
the regional center.That total does not include the Loews MovieTheater.
Some permitted uses in the ordinance are retail, medical office buildings, restaurants and taverns, pre-school
and day care centers and recreational/amusement/entertainment uses such as aquariums, arcades, miniature
golf and bowling alleys.

28. EATONTOWN – Instead of one
multimillion-dollar town center, the
borough could potentially have two
located within two miles of each
other on Route 35, each competing
for customers, shops and residents.
