The Island Heights Planning Board is a combined board for planning and zoning. The Planning Board’s essential duties are to deal with policy (the master plan) and the implementation of that policy through the zoning, site plan and subdivision ordinances. These ordinances establish a series of ground rules to be met by an applicant. As for the Zoning Board portion, it deals with the issuance of variances which are based upon the municipality’s zoning ordinance. The zoning ordinance establishes specific requirements for the land area within the municipality and regulates not only the uses permitted, but the size of the parcels, setbacks required, parking, signs, conditional uses and numerous other such regulations. All actions of the Planning Board are carried out under the authority of the New Jersey Land Use Law and the implementing Borough Ordinances.
