They are seeking “C”, “D”, Preliminary and Final Major Site Plan approvals from the Board of Adjustment on Wednesday, March 7.

The property is currently owned by Fulton Bank of New Jersey. Previously Fulton Bank was constructing a bank branch on the property. In 2012, Fulton Bank applied to the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance for “Application to establish a branch office to be located at 240 Littleton Road, Parsippany.” The application was approved. Shortly thereafter, Fulton Bank started closing branches throughout New Jersey and the plans to open the Parsippany branch were abandoned.
Fulton Bank has offices in Madison, Lake Hopatcong and Rockaway. They have a network of community banks throughout New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Parsippany resident Pat Petracca has been requesting of the Township Council to pass an ordinance that would prohibit 24-hour businesses in residential area. 7-11 stores are open 24 hours a day.

The closest 7-11 to the proposed location is at 31 North Beverwyck Road, Lake Hiawatha and 959 Route 53, Morris Plains. Both locations are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
