Vitale (continued from page 3) plan. Judge De La Cruz denied the township’s motion and granted the plaintiffs’ motion on the procedural basis that the council did not discuss the reasons it chose to adopt the ordinance during its public hearing so those reasons could be listed in the official minutes of the hearing. She accepted the plaintiffs’ argument that a zoning ordinance that is not consistent with a municipality’s master plan may be adopted only if the reasons for adopting the ordinance are contained in a resolution and recorded in the minutes of the public hearing. She also accepted the plaintiffs’ assertion that the council did not discuss the reasons for passing the ordinance at the public hearing and, as a result, those reasons were not included in the minutes. The township did not dispute the fact that the reasons were not specifically discussed at the hearing and in the minutes, but argued that the reasons were stated in the resolution the council passed contemporaneously with the ordinance, and the minutes of the hearing direct the public to the resolution that contained the reasons. Judge De La Cruz pointed out, however, that the state law passed by the legislature in 1975 and amended in 1985 requires the reasons to be in the resolution and recorded in the minutes of the hearing. She found that the law was unambiguous in that regard. “This court’s decision is based solely on procedural grounds,” Judge De La Cruz stated. “This court makes no rulings on the substantive issues raised in either the defendants’ motion for summary judgment or in the plaintiffs’ cross motion for summary judgment.” The idea of permitting wellness and fitness uses in the township’s industrial zones originally arose when The Valley Fitness and Wellness Center, which was affiliated with the Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, proposed to operate a health and wellness center in the GI-80 zone on McKee Drive. When the original ordinance was invalidated in 2007, however, the hospital decided not to appeal that judge’s ruling and dropped its plans for a fitness and wellness center in Mahwah. The township still proceeded to amend the ordinance, and it was reintroduced and adopted in 2009. The township’s four GI-80 zones are located in the Fardale section near the Wyckoff border, between Island Road and the Conrail right-of-way off McKee Drive near Route 17 and Macarthur Boulevard, west of Franklin Turnpike opposite police headquarters at the intersection of Siding Place and King Street, and in the northern part of the township at the end of Christie and Cedar Hill avenues. There are two IP-120 zones in the township. One extends from the Ramsey border and Macarthur Boulevard to north of Corporate Drive. The other extends from the Conrail right-of-way to Ramapo Valley Road and Railroad Avenue.
