In this matter, Fox's client (Applicant), represented by Jeffrey M. Hall, applied for a use variance to repurpose a vacant commercial building to create a food preparation and distribution business in Trenton, New Jersey.  Two commercial kitchens were proposed to operate at the facility and the remaining space would be used to manufacture, store and distribute food-related products for off-site sales and distribution.  The property is located in the Residential B Zone District requiring the use variance.  The ZBA approved the use variance and a parking variance, and also granted waiver of site plan review, noting the proposed use was less intense than previous non-residential uses.  Minor conditions were imposed by the Board.
