The Planning Board/Board of Adjustment consists of volunteer residents appointed by the Mayor & Council who are responsible for preparing the Borough Master Plan in compliance with provisions of the New Jersey Municipal Land Use Law (MLUL) and who are responsible for reviewing zoning ordinances referred to them by the Mayor & Council.
The Planning Board/Board of Adjustment also reviews applications that propose to utilize property in a manner not consistent with borough zoning laws. They preview applications for variances that are basically non-permitted uses, and the Board is empowered to grant exceptions to the zoning ordinances in cases where the literal and rigid interpretation and enforcement of the zoning laws would cause hardship or injustice. These \“non-permitted\” uses are based upon the zoning ordinances established by the Borough.
The Board of Adjustment is incorporated into the Planning Board in the Borough of Glen Gardner.
The Glen Gardner Planning Board/Board of Adjustment meets the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7:30pm at Borough Hall, 83 Main Street, Glen Gardner.
Chairman is Tom Grochowicz
Secretary is Judy Bass, Telephone number: 908-537-2110
