THE PROCESS:

After you submit your application, fees, and supporting documents, your application will be reviewed for completeness. Within forty-five (45) days, you will receive a letter in the mail (and e-mail if provided) advising you whether or not your application is “complete”. If your application is deemed “incomplete”, please provide the additional information requested and contained in the “incomplete” letter. If your application is deemed “complete”, the letter will advise you of your hearing date.

When you receive your hearing letter, you will receive further instructions regarding the process necessary to notify the public of your application and the notice requirement for the newspaper.

In general, the Board can make their decision at the first meeting/hearing unless the applicant has failed to provide sufficient information.

Once the Board has made a decision, a resolution will be prepared indicating the application has been granted or denied including any conditions placed upon same and then memorialized at the next available meeting.

Approximately two (2) to five (5) days after the memorialization of the resolution, a signed copy of the resolution will be mailed to you or your attorney (should you be represented by an attorney).

You will be required to place a public notice in the newspaper of the “Decision of the Board”. Publication can be placed in any of the Borough approved newspapers – the Coaster, Coast Star, or Asbury Park Press. The original affidavit of publication of your Notice of Decision must be submitted to the Board Office once the publication has been published.

Please be aware that an objector to your application/approval has up to forty-five (45) days after your notice of decision is published in the newspaper to file an appeal on the decision of the Board.

Please note application fees are NOT refundable whether your application has been approved, denied, or withdrawn; however, any unused portion of your escrow deposit can be refunded once the project is complete. A written request must be received by the Board Office in order to begin the refund process.

Land Use Board Meetings are generally held on the Third Thursday of each month (please confirm as the date may change due to holidays or Members’ schedules).
