Wayne Council Cuts Ratzer Road Project to 46 Homes From Earlier 71-Unit Plan

933–965 Ratzer Rd. — Approximate Site of Proposed 46-Home Zone. Wayne Township's governing body voted 7–2 to introduce an ordinance creating an overlay zone that would allow up to 46 homes on a long-contested Ratzer Road property, with two council members, Al Sadowski and Joseph Scuralli, casting the dissenting votes. The move scales back a far denser concept that had been on the table for the site, and it comes with strings attached: any homes actually built would need to meet a 20% affordable-housing requirement, and the project still faces Planning Board review before a shovel goes into the ground.
