The Zoning Board of Adjustment is a board of “non-permitted uses”. It is regulated by the Municipal Land Use Law (MLUL) NJSA 40:55D-1 et seq. The purpose of the Board is to provide relief from zoning requirements which cannot be satisfied.

The Zoning Board of Adjustment is empowered by NJMLUL to:

Hear and decide appeals of the Zoning Official

Hear and decide requests for interpretation of zoning maps or ordinances

Hear and decide bulk area “C” variances separately, or in conjunction with use variances

Hear and decide use “D” variances

Approve site plans related to use “D” variance applications

The Zoning Board of Adjustment is a quasi-judicial board. It is not required to grant or deny any variance relief requested. Request for relief are not based upon policy, but rather upon the ability of an applicant to prove their case in accordance with MLUL. The Board must make decisions much as a judge does in court.

The Zoning Board Of Adjustment meets on the 3rd Monday of every month at Town Hall.
