PISCATAWAY - A home furnishing company is looking to expand its Hoes Lane site into its national headquarters by adding a nearly 50,000-square-foot building.
Venture Net Properties LLC, based in Flushing, New York, is seeking preliminary and final site plan approval along with a use variance and bulk variance relief from the township Zoning Board of Adjustment for property at 425 Hoes Lane.
The application is scheduled to be heard at the board's Aug. 14 meeting.
Venture Net Properties is looking to use two existing office buildings on the property, located in a business professional zone, and add a 46,249-square-foot, one-story building.
The new building is proposed to be used for product assembly, shipping and receiving along with other site improvements and interior modifications.
The property will be used as a combination office, wholesale showroom, light assembly, warehouse storage and distribution for the applicant's home furnishing business.
The applicant is seeking a variance for the proposed uses in a zone where only the office is permitted.

Tim Arch, attorney for the company, told township officials last September that the business had been delayed in submitting plans for the construction because of the state Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) new flood hazard rules.
Venture Net Properties also will seek relief for the building's side yard setback where 80 feet is required and 55 feet is proposed, minimum accessory rear yard setback where 15 feet is required and 14 feet is proposed, along with parking requirements where 397 spaces are required and 381 spaces are proposed.
