"Palisades Cliffs Protection Act;" limits height of new construction in area below cliffs east of Palisades.

S 269, the "Palisades Cliffs Protection Act," limits new building heights in a specific zone east of the Palisades cliffs and west of the Hudson River in Hudson and Bergen counties. It prohibits new construction (including rooftop structures) from exceeding 10 feet below the lowest point of the cliff wall or Palisade Avenue's surface elevation, whichever is lower. This directly affects developers and property owners planning new buildings in that area. The bill aims to preserve scenic views and the natural topography for residents in historic neighborhoods above the cliffs, as stated in its official summary.
