Scotch Plains City Zoning Code

Any rezoning request made by a property owner or by the beneficial owner of any property within the Township (other than for a rezoning initiated by the Township or any of its constituent boards, bodies or agencies or by any instrumentality of the county or of the State of New Jersey) shall be made in writing to the Township Clerk and be accompanied by the following fees:

The fees set forth above shall be drawn as separate checks made payable to "Township of Scotch Plains." The applicant shall be required to replenish any planning escrow if the escrow posted is insufficient to cover the planner's fees and costs. Any unexpended escrow shall be refunded to the applicant.

If the Township Council authorizes the Township Attorney to draft a rezoning ordinance, the applicant shall post an additional $500 to cover the costs of drafting such ordinance. The applicant shall be required to replenish said attorney escrow if the escrow posted is insufficient to cover the Township Attorney's fees and costs. Any unexpended escrow shall be refunded to the applicant.

The applicant shall reimburse the Township for its actual out-of-pocket costs if notice is required under N.J.S.A. 40:55D-62.1 in connection with such request for rezoning.
