The nonprofit corporation has applied to the township Zoning Board of Adjustment for permission to expand and renovate the existing building into a three-level house of worship with a Moorish-style facade, a dome, and a 45-foot-high minaret, My Central Jersey reported on Monday.

The project also includes paving the rear area of the site and creating a 40-space parking lot and a two-way driveway.

The Zoning Board will hold a public hearing on the application on Feb. 20.

In addition, the existing building would be renovated into classrooms, bathrooms and conference room spaces, the documents say.

The building would have an ornamental Moorish-style facade with roof merlons, angular windows, a 45-foot-high minaret and an angular rooftop dome. The entry door and stairs would face Plainfield Avenue along with the rear parking lot, according to the documents, and a two-way driveway is planned to connect to Plainfield Avenue.
