Municipal Land Use Law for Planning and Zoning Board
Members:
This 12-hour program provides an introduction to the local
planning and zoning process in New Jersey. It is especially
designed to familiarize municipal planning board and zoning
board of adjustment members with their duties and responsibilities
in accordance with the Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A.
40: 55 D-1 et seq.). The powers of both boards and the statutory
requirements governing their operation are emphasized. The
development application review process is discussed in detail
from the point of view of the board member, and various
types of applications are analyzed. The content and purpose
of key planning tools, including the master plan, zoning
ordinance, and site plan/subdvision review ordinances are
reviewed. This course should be considered essential for
new appointees to both boards (or to a combined board) and
complements the half-day program for new board members offered
by New Jersey Planning Officials. Texts for the course are
the Municipal Land Use Law and The New Millennium Guide
to Planning Boards and Zoning Boards of Adjustment by Glenn
Kienz. Students must attend all sessions of the course to
receive a certificate of completion.
