Zoning Board

The Zoning Board of Adjustment is a quasi-judicial, seven-member and four alternate Township Council appointed board that enforces compliance with the Township zoning ordinances that limit and regulate buildings and structures according to types and use.

The Board also regulates the nature and use of land for trade, industry, residence, open space and any other purposes. The height of buildings, the number of stories permitted, the size of buildings, lot size compliance and open space requirements are also regulated by zoning ordinances.

  Hears and decides requests for interpretation of zoning maps and ordinances.
