Executive Summary

This document outlines the comprehensive application requirements for a Zoning Permit within Ocean City, NJ. It specifies that applicants, who can be the lot owner or their authorized agent, must submit an Ocean City Zoning Permit application form along with detailed supporting documentation. Key requirements include applicant and owner identification, property details (lot, block, street address), a clear statement of the intended use, and a current (not older than 12 months) signed and sealed survey. Further essential components are three sets of architectural plans, providing elevation details of proposed structures and signs, and three sets of plot plans. These plot plans must illustrate various site conditions such as building dimensions, parking areas, setback requirements, coverage percentages (building and impervious surface), floor area ratio, building height, landscaping, topographic elevations, refuse storage locations, easements, and detailed roof diagrams. Additionally, any prior approvals from the Planning Board or Zoning Board, including resolutions and signed plans, must be included. The document also grants the Zoning Officer discretionary authority to waive certain requirements for minor improvements like sheds, HVAC units, propane tanks, or fences, provided such waivers are noted on the approved permit and plans. All inquiries regarding these requirements should be directed to the Zoning Office.
