As part of its ongoing planning consulting services for the Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority (FMERA), Phillips Preiss prepared design guidelines for the historic resources in the former Fort Monmouth.  The Historic Preservation Design Guidelines provide details on historic features and convey recommendations on renovations, restorations, and new additions to Fort Monmouth’s contributing historic resources.

Phillips Preiss prepared a form-based zoning code and development and design guidelines for Fort Monmouth, a former military base which closed in 2011. The Fort encompasses over 1,100 acres that lie in three different “host municipalities:” the Boroughs of Tinton Falls, Eatontown and Oceanport. A reuse and redevelopment plan for the fort envisioned the development of mixed-income neighborhoods; creation of mixed-use, neighborhood centers; provisions for enhanced mobility; and the creation of an open space network. Phillips Preiss worked closely with FMERA and the three municipalities to translate the design concepts in the reuse and redevelopment plan into land use regulations that are flexible enough to respond to market conditions, based on sound sustainable planning principles, and conform to all New Jersey statutory requirements.
