Mission Statement

In the town of Sea Girt, the Planning Board and the Board of Adjustment are combined into a single board designated as the Planning Board. This combined board, when acting as a planning board has responsibilities, which include site plan review, the division of property, and review and/or revision of the Master Plan for the Borough. On other occasions, the Planning Board, acting in its capacity as a Board of Adjustment, is responsible to review requests for variances related to: property use, building setback, building height, and building lot coverage. The board consists of nine regular members, and two alternates, appointed by the Mayor with consent of Council. The board convenes monthly, currently on the 3rd Wednesday of the month, at 7:30 p.m., at the Sea Girt Elementary School.

The Planning Board encourages all Sea Girt residents to attend its meetings. Input from the public with regard to issues of development is always welcome.

Application to the Sea Girt Planning Board is for relief from one or more zoning ordinances governing use and/or bulk regulations within the Borough. In order for the Board to hear your application, the application and one set of all attachments must be reviewed by the Board Engineer to ensure that all of the information required by State Statute and/or needed by the Board to make a decision has been filed. This procedure is called compliance review. No more that 3 applications will be scheduled per Planning Board meeting. They will be listed in the order that each is deemed complete. Meetings will end at 11:00 PM. Any business not completed will be held over to the following month. Planning Board Application and all material for application can be picked up at the Borough Hall or you may dowonload: Land Development Application

Important Application Information, please carefully read the following:

The application, supporting documents and required fees must be returned to the Planning Board Secretary. The Board Secretary will forward this material to the Board Engineer for his compliance review. The Engineer has ten (10) business days form the time you file the application and the supporting documentation to review your file and to advise the Board Secretary in writing that your application is complete or, if deficient, how so. After re-submission the Engineer will again review for compliance within ten (10) days and you shall be notified in writing if your application is now complete. Once the compliance review is accomplished, and any deficiencies have been corrected, your application will be scheduled for a hearing at the next available regular meeting of the Planning Board. This review process does not relieve you of your obligation to present facts to the Planning Board at he hearing to prove that you are entitled to the relief you seek. In addition, the Board Engineer will submit a written report to the Board detailing the technical view of the merits of the application. The purpose of the compliance review is only to insure that all relevant and necessary technical material is present with the application before you are given a hearing date. After you have been given a hearing date, you must then notify, in most cases, adjoining property homeowners within 200 feet of your property as to the relief you are seeking and the time and place and date of your scheduled appearance before the Planning Board. There must be 10 calendar days between your mailing these notices by certified mail, returned receipt requested and the hearing date (i.e. if your scheduled appearance is on the 11th day of the month, notice must be in the mail by the 1st day of the month). The original mailing cards, must be given to the Board Secretary, with as many of the signed acceptance cards, 24 hours before the meeting, or your application cannot be heard and you will have to re-schedule and re-notice. In addition, all real estate taxes, water and sewer charge must be current (or brought current) 24 hours before the meeting or you cannot be heard. Finally, all documentation which you wish the Board to see must be in the Board Secretary's office ten (10) days before your hearing date.
