The Planning Board is responsible for the preparation and adoption of the Master Plan, which is the guide for development of the community. It reviews and recommends adoption of all amendments to the Land Development Ordinance.
The Planning Board also reviews all proposed subdivision of land for compliance with Article VII of the Land Development Ordinance, which contains all standards for development of new streets, sewers, and utilities.
The Planning Board is charged under the Land Development Ordinance with the responsibility to review all site plans, parking projects and major building projects for proper design and drainage according to standards.
The regular public meetings are scheduled for the second Wednesday of the month. Workshop meetings, when needed, are scheduled for the 4th Thursday of the month. All meetings take place in the Borough Hall at 7:00 PM.
The Planning Board, through the Master Plan and Land Development Ordinance, sets the pattern for development of the community. It has additional powers under the Land Use Law. It conducts hearings and may grant certain non-use type variances. There are time limits imposed that can grant certain approvals if the Board fails to act within the specified time:
