The Zoning Officer reviews Zoning Permit applications and Tree Permit applications on Wednesdays from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM at the office on the main level of Borough Hall. Zoning permits can be sent or brought into Borough Hall during normal business hours.
Please call ahead or email to set up an office hour appointment. His office is on the main level of the Borough Hall.
Any projects that change or add to the footprint of your residential or commercial building, accessory building or structure (shed, detached garage, gazebo, pergola, tent, carport, equipment such as a generator, pump or AC condenser), sign, pool (above and in ground), solar, decks, fence all require an approved Zoning Permit—as do projects that change grading soil level of a foot or more. Projects and additions to existing buildings or properties that have lots or setbacks or other elements that do not conform to Pine Beach Code are also required to have a Zoning Permit before requests for Construction permits will be accepted.
Depending on the nature and scope of the changes or additions, some projects only require approval of a Zoning Permit, while others require Zoning approval first and then approval of Construction Permits.
To obtain a Zoning Permit, please provide the appropriate materials needed for approval at time of submission. A survey, plot plan, grading plan may be necessary for your project, and you may submit a Tree Removal Permit application along with the Zoning application.
