Controversial Somerville townhouse plan returns with 34 homes

SOMERVILLE – A controversial plan to build 34 townhouses on the western border of the borough , now part of Somerville's affordable housing plan, will return this month to the borough's Planning Board. Bell Avenue Holdings LLC is scheduled to appear before the board Nov. 12 with a proposal to build 34 townhouses at 6-10 Bell Ave. in three buildings. Twenty-eight units would be sold at market rate, while six would be set aside as affordable units. In March, the Borough Council, following Planning Board review, formally adopted a plan to meet its affordable housing obligation for the next decade by zoning for development on Bell Avenue and Mountain Avenue . No formal plans have been submitted for the Mountain Avenue property. To meet the court-ordered affordable housing mandate, the zoning allows 34 townhouses on the 2.6-acre Bell Avenue property north of the NJ Transit tracks on Somerville's border with Raritan. Bell Avenue property has been subject of lawsuits The inclusion of the property in the borough's affordable housing plan and the rezoning of the parcel for multifamily development may help end a legal fight that began in November 2022.
