On August 13, 2025, the Ridgewood Village Council voted to defeat Ordinance #4052, which would have created the S-1 Senior Overlay to allow a Kensington assisted-living facility at North Maple/Marshall/Franklin. The ordinance was rejected after resident pushback and concerns about scale, traffic safety near schools, and neighborhood fit. The project remains active: Kensington will present a scaled-down plan [presumably in] September.

At its July 15, 2025 meeting, the Ridgewood Planning Board reviewed Ordinance #4052, which would create a new S-1 Senior Overlay Zone at North Maple, Franklin, and Marshall to allow a 125-bed assisted living facility, with at least 10% of beds reserved for affordable housing. The Board’s task was only to assess consistency with the Village’s Master Plan and Housing Plan, not to approve the project. While the Planner said the ordinance supports housing goals, Board members and many residents raised strong concerns about the building’s height, traffic, parking, flooding, safety, and neighborhood character. The Board concluded the ordinance was “not inconsistent” with the Master Plan but agreed to forward resident concerns to the Village Council for consideration in its final decision later this year.
