Planning and Zoning
Contact
In order for a community to have zoning, it must first meet the requirements set forth in the Municipal Land Use Law as it pertains the the Municipal Master Plan. The Master Plan must contain certain elements and be re-examinied, at least, once every 10 years, in order to be valid.
Ewing Township's 2006 Master Plan was re-examined in 2013. Subsequently, some amendments to the Zoning ordinances have been made to effectivate these findings.
On a daily basis, the Division of Planning and Zoning works with the Administration on exploring new opportunities while working directly with investors and residents on projects they wish to implement.
