Brigantine City Zoning Code

Procedures for a zoning permit. All applications for zoning permits shall be made to the Zoning Officer in such detail as described in Article III, Development Application Review and Approval Procedures. Where the proposed use does not require site plan review by the Planning Board, the Zoning Officer shall carefully consider the application and supporting documents for compliance with this chapter and either issue or deny the zoning permit applied for. When the application is for a use for which site plan review is required, the Zoning Officer shall, prior to the issuance of any permit, refer one copy of such plans, drawings and statements to the Planning Board and one copy to the Municipal Engineer for their review and recommendations.

Procedures for temporary use permits and conditional use permits. All applications for temporary use permits and conditional use permits shall be made to the Zoning Officer. The Zoning Officer, after determining that an application is in the proper form, shall transmit one copy of the application and all supporting documents to the Secretary of the Planning Board for referral to the Board for action thereon in accord with § 198-9, Application procedure.

Procedures for a certificate of occupancy. Following the completion of the construction, reconstruction or alteration of any building, or for any change in the use of the structure the applicant shall transmit by registered mail to the Zoning Officer a letter stating that such construction has been completed or that a new use has been proposed. Within seven days of the receipt of this letter, the Zoning Officer shall make all necessary inspections of the completed structure and proposed use to determine the conformance with this chapter. A certificate of occupancy shall be issued by the Construction Official only if the Zoning Officer finds that the construction and proposed use comply with all the requirements and provisions of this chapter or the approval granted to the applicant.
