“Plan Endorsement” Process Advancing

The NJ State Development and Redevelopment Plan is on its 3rd version, and has been on hold for the last few months. But the Plan Development committee has been reviewing municipal and county petitions for Plan Endorsement, primarily affecting zoning, by the State Planning Commission.

A county or community that receives endorsement of its planning documents is either consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the SDRP or agrees to bring it’s planning and zoning into consistency within a designated period of time.

Ocean County has been endorsed. Lakewood, Lacey and Brick Townships are in the process of review. Endorsement qualifies communities and counties for increased benefits from state agencies, including streamlined permits and approvals.
