C. All properties consisting of rental apartments but also containing retail, commercial or office use shall be subject to the special assessment established herein for the benefit of the Voorhees Town Center BID, which special assessment shall be based upon a pro-rata calculation of the ratio of the retail, commercial or office use to the apartment use as shall be established by the Voorhees Township Tax Assessor exercising reasonable discretion.

RESOLUTION DESIGNATING CERTAIN AREAS IN THE “VOORHEES TOWN CENTER” COMPLEX IN THE TOWNSHIP OF VOORHEES AS CONDEMNATION REDEVELOPMENT AREAS FOR THE TOWNSHIP OF VOORHEES, DESIGNATING CERTAIN OTHER AREAS

AS NON-CONDEMNATION REDEVELOPMENT AREAS AND NOT DESIGNATING CERTAIN OTHER AREAS AS AREAS IN NEED OF REDEVELOPMENT IN THE TOWNSHIP

OF VOORHEES

WHEREAS, N.J.S.A. 40A:12-6 authorizes the Governing Body of any municipality, by

Resolution, to have its Planning Board conduct a preliminary investigation to determine whether any area

of the municipality is a redevelopment area; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Resolution 229-17 (Exhibit “A”), adopted by the Mayor and Township

Committee of the Township of Voorhees, the Planning Board of the Township of Voorhees (“Planning

Board”) conducted an investigation to determine whether the following areas should be designated as

areas in need of condemnation redevelopment (“Condemnation Redevelopment Areas”) and considered

the redevelopment area study submitted by Peter Van Den Kooy, PP, AICP, of CME Associates, dated

December 12, 2017 (the "Redevelopment Study"):

1. Block 150.01, Lot 1 – consisting of the vacant Macy’s building and associated

parking lot located between the Macy’s building and Somerdale Road;

2. Block 150.01, Lot 2 – consisting of the remainder of the building formerly

known as the Echelon Mall, excluding the Boscov's store and Voorhees Township municipal offices,

together with five large and mostly contiguous parking areas associated therewith, the open space square

in front of the mall and a vacant land area and the driveway leading from Lot 2 to the adjacent Lot 3;

3. Block 150.01, Lot 3 – consisting of the recently constructed mixed use

development located along Voorhees Town Center Boulevard, including first floor retail/commercial

space and multi-family residential apartment buildings above;

4. Block 150.01, Lot 5 – consisting of "The Learning Experience" child care and

development center and associated parking lot; and

5. Block 150.01, Lot 5.01 – consisting of two unused parking lots adjacent to the

current Voorhees Town Center building.

WHEREAS, the Planning Board conducted a public hearing on March 28, 2018 concerning the

designation of the Study Areas as Condemnation Redevelopment Areas, and the meeting was open to the

public and all members of the public had an opportunity to address questions and comments to the

Planning Board; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-6, due notice of the public hearing was given to the

property owners as mandated by the aforesaid statute and notice also was posted and published in

accordance with the requirements of law; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-6, the Planning Board prepared a map showing the

boundaries of the proposed redevelopment Study Areas and the location of the various parcels of property

included therein; and appended to the map was a statement setting forth the basis for the investigation;

and

WHEREAS, Peter Van Den Kooy, PP, AICP, the Township Planner, prepared the

Redevelopment Study, entitled “Voorhees Town Center & Echelon Mall In Need of Redevelopment

Study Phase Two,” dated December 12, 2017, which document is adopted herein by reference; and

WHEREAS, all members of the Planning Board reviewed the Redevelopment Study for the

Study Areas submitted by Mr. Van Den Kooy; and

WHEREAS, the Planning Board made the following findings of fact and drew the following

conclusions of law:

1. Peter Van Den Kooy, PP, AICP, presented substantial credible evidence that certain

properties within the investigation area qualify as Condemnation Redevelopment Areas, that certain other

areas qualify as non-condemnation redevelopment areas and that certain other areas do not qualify as

areas in need of redevelopment, as follows:

A. Block 150, Lots 1, 2 and 5.01 qualify as an area in need of condemnation

redevelopment;

B. Block 150, Lot 5 qualifies as an area in need of non-condemnation

redevelopment; and

C. Block 150, Lot 3 does not qualify as an area in need of redevelopment.

2. Specifically, with respect to Block 150, Lot 1, which consists of the former Macy's

building and associated parking area, the Board found the area satisfies the criteria set forth pursuant to

N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-5, as follows:

A. Consistent with the statutory criteria described in N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-5(b), the

former Macy’s building is completely vacant and the use of it as a commercial retail department store has

been discontinued;

B. Consistent with the statutory criteria described in N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-5(d), due to

the elimination of the brick and mortar retail department store business model as a result of online

shopping, the Macy’s building itself has become obsolete and suffers from faulty arrangement and design

as well as excessive land coverage, which conditions have been on-going and are not likely to be

remedied because there is a low probability that the building will be reused for the same department store

use; the Board also found that for this reason, the building will continue to deteriorate without private

investment, thereby preventing the property from being put to a more productive use and ultimately

resulting in the continued vacancy and obsolescence of the building to the detriment of the community

which would suffer the economic strain placed on taxpayers and the Township as the value of the vacant

and obsolete property continues to decline; and

C. Consistent with the statutory criteria described in N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-5(h), the

subject parcel may further smart growth planning principles by enabling redevelopment though the

leveraging of existing infrastructure and through the development of walkable pedestrian oriented uses by

capitalizing on nearby public transportation, thereby providing a sustainable community in the Township.

3. With respect to Block 150, Lot 2, which includes the balance of Voorhees Town Center

(the former "Echelon Mall"), but excludes the Voorhees Township municipal offices, the Boscov's

building and associated parking areas, and the former Macy's Building and associated parking area

identified in Paragraph 2 above, the Board found the area satisfies the criteria set forth pursuant to

N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-5, as follows:

A. Consistent with the statutory criteria described in N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-5(d), the

unused lands and overall extent of land coverage resulting from the five large parking areas constitute

excessive land coverage which is both obsolete and a faulty arrangement and design, especially

considering the decline in consumer use of "mall" type shopping experiences and the fact that the former

Echelon Mall building is almost 50% vacant as a result of this market change; moreover, the large surface

area covered by parking lots constitutes ineffective and faulty stormwater management design which

places a heavy burden on stormwater management facilities both on site and off site; and further in that

the mall building, which was constructed in 1970, suffers from obsolete layout and faulty design which

the owner has not updated and/or modernized; therefore, as result of the above, the community is

suffering and will continue to suffer the negative impacts of non-use of the vacant land and parking lots

as well as the underutilization of the obsolete mall building;

B. Consistent with the statutory criteria described in N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-5(e), the rate

of vacancy within the mall building is approaching 50% and shows signs of continuing decline and

vacancy, especially in light of the closure of Macy’s as a major anchor tenant which has had the impact of

reducing shopping traffic to the mall and has led to continued negative trends in occupancy and

operations; and further that these conditions have resulted in negative social and economic impacts to the

community and ultimately will place an unusually heavy burden on the Township tax base, all to the

detriment of the safety, health, morals, and welfare of the community; and

C. Consistent with the statutory criteria described in N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-5(h),

inclusion of this lot in the redevelopment area is consistent with smart growth planning principles because

this 31 acre site presents an opportunity to harness the surrounding transportation options by leveraging

existing infrastructure for redevelopment and creating walkable pedestrian oriented use reliant on public

transportation, so as to provide an overall sustainable community in the Township based on productive

land use and smart growth planning principles.

4. With respect to Block 150, Lot 3, which consists of the Voorhees Town Center boulevard

area that was previously redeveloped pursuant to prior redevelopment efforts of the Township and now

contains a largely-occupied, newer mixed use development with first floor retail/commercial uses and

several stories of residential apartments above, the Board recommended that the area be excluded from

any "in need of redevelopment designation," including but not limited to any condemnation

redevelopment designation.

5. With respect to Block 150.01, Lot 5, which consists of The Learning Experience

child/day care facility and associated parking area, all of which was redeveloped as part of prior

redevelopment efforts of the Township, the Board recommended the property be included in the

redevelopment designation as a non-condemnation redevelopment area in accordance with N.J.S.A.

40A:12A-3, which allows a redevelopment area to include lands, buildings or improvements which

themselves are not detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, but the inclusion of which is found

necessary, with or without change in their current condition, for the effective redevelopment of the area of

which they are apart. The Board found this property is adjacent to and/or proximate to the Voorhees

Town Center building and associated parking areas and has property frontage along adjacent material

roadways, therefore the property will further the Township's vision to create a comprehensive

redevelopment area for the properties recommended for condemnation redevelopment as detailed herein.

6. With respect to Block 150, Lot 5.01, which consists of two unused, unmaintained parking

lots in substandard condition on approximately four acres of land, the Board found the area satisfies the

criteria set forth pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-5, as follows:

A. Consistent with the statutory criteria described in N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-5(a), the two

parking lots are dilapidated and in such a state of disrepair that they are not useable as developed and they

are conducive to unwholesome parking conditions;

B. Consistent with the statutory criteria described in N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-5(c), the

property has been vacant for over a period of ten years and is unlikely to be developed through private

capital due to its location within the Voorhees Town Center;

C. Consistent with the statutory criteria described in N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-5(d), the

design of the parking lot is faulty as the parking lot has never been utilized for the purpose for which it

was intended and the presence of over parking, excessive land coverage, and the current site conditions,

including accumulation of debris, lack of striping and stormwater management facilities and dilapidated

parking areas, makes the parking lot obsolete; and

D. Consistent with the statutory criteria described in N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-5(h),

inclusion of this lot in the redevelopment area is consistent with smart growth planning principles because

the lot has abundant potential to be redeveloped using smart growth goals by leveraging existing

infrastructure and also by creating walkable pedestrian oriented uses that capitalize on nearby public

transportation, thereby creating an overall sustainable community in the Township.
