Zoning Board Agenda 04/08/26| Published:04/07/26

The Township of Gloucester Zoning Board of Adjustment is reviewing an application for bulk variances related to property located at 988 Kearsley Road. The applicant, Samuel Mensah, intends to construct a new single-family home in the R-1 residential zoning district but requires variances for undersized lot size and not meeting the required frontage. The property's lot size is 42,427 sf, while 43,560 sf is required. The frontage is +/- 107.4 ft, while 125 ft is required. The application seeks approval for these existing nonconforming conditions of the property. The applicant argues that granting the variances would allow for the construction of a new single-family home in keeping with the neighborhood and improve the property's aesthetics, outweighing any detriments. The Zoning Board of Adjustment agenda for April 8, 2026, includes this application as item #ZB-26-007 for consideration.
