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

S 392, the "Palisades Cliffs Protection Act," limits new building heights in areas east of the Palisades cliffs in Hudson and Bergen counties, directly affecting developers planning construction between the cliffs and the Hudson River. The bill requires all new buildings or structures to be at least 10 feet shorter than the cliff wall's lowest point west of the site or the elevation of Palisade Avenue, whichever is lower. This applies to all new proposals, excluding projects that already have all required government approvals before the law takes effect. The measure aims to maintain the natural topography and visual character of the Palisades area by restricting vertical development near the cliffs.
