Bill > S269

This bill, known as the "Palisades Cliffs Protection Act," limits the height of new construction in the area below the Palisades cliffs east of Palisade Avenue in Hudson and Bergen counties. Specifically, it prohibits the construction or approval of any building or structure, including any mechanical structures on top, that exceeds 10 feet below the surface of Palisade Avenue or the height of the Palisades cliff wall, whichever is lower. The bill aims to protect the unique views enjoyed by residents living in the historic neighborhoods above the cliffs and preserve the topography of the Palisades. The height restriction applies to all proposed buildings and structures in the designated area, except for those that have already received all required government approvals as of the bill's effective date.
