Planning & Zoning

Overview

The Zoning Department reviews and issues zoning permit approvals for proposed structures and improvements, as well as land uses and certificate of occupancies. The zoning department follows the Township Zoning regulations. 

Zoning Regulations

Zoning regulations guide the appropriate use and development of land by designating zoning districts - such as residential, business and industrial - where specific uses, structures, and design requirements are identified.   

Planning & Zoning Boards

The administration of the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Adjustment is the responsibility of the Planning & Zoning Department.
