the Municipal Land Use Law and applicable ordinances of the Borough.

The Zoning Officer shall issue a zoning permit within 10 business
days from the date of application. Failure to issue a requested permit
within said 10 business days will be considered an approval.

Where new construction is proposed, no construction permit shall
be issued unless a zoning permit covering the use and location of
the proposed building or structure has first been obtained. Where
applicable, issuance of a zoning permit may be conditioned upon payment
of any taxes or assessments for local improvements which are due or
delinquent on the property for which any application is made.
