[Amended 9-24-2007 by Ord. No. O-16-07]
The Zoning Board of Adjustment was created by
ordinance pursuant to the provisions of N.J.S.A. 40:55D-69. The aforementioned
statute mandates the creation of a Zoning Board of Adjustment upon
the adoption of a zoning ordinance unless the municipality is eligible
for and exercises the option of creating a nine-member Planning Board
to exercise all of the powers and duties of the Board of Adjustment
as provided by N.J.S.A. 40:55D-25c. The Borough meets the criteria
established in N.J.S.A. 40:55D-25c and has determined that it is in
the public's interest to abolish the Zoning Board of Adjustment and
authorize the Planning Board to exercise its powers and duties.
A.
The Zoning Board of Adjustment is hereby abolished,
and all of the powers and duties granted by law to that Board are
hereby transferred to the Planning Board pursuant to the authority
established in N.J.S.A. 40:55D-25c.
B.
All members, officers and employees of the Zoning
Board of Adjustment as of the effective date of this article shall
be discharged from their positions, offices or employment.
All references to "Board of Adjustment" contained
in this chapter or any other ordinance shall be deemed to be deleted
or shall refer instead to the "Planning Board" or "Board," as the
case may be.
