HOBOKEN — The Hoboken City Council was scheduled to hear a zoning appeal Wednesday night for the garage that the Stevens Institute of Technology is planning to build on Sinatra Drive in Hoboken. However, the meeting has been postponed due to the impending snow.
The garage was already approved by the Zoning Board of Adjustments years ago, but local waterfront activist groups are appealing.
The board had approved 19 variances for the large Stevens building, which will also include some classroom space. Part of their plan is also to re-route Fifth Street where it meets Sinatra Drive.
Stevens is planning to use the garage for student and employees, but has promised to allow some sports groups who use Sinatra Field to also have access at certain times.
At least five members of the council gave their approval to postpone Wednesday’s meeting. They have not yet announced when the meeting will be held.
