If there will be site improvements that require Planning Board or Zoning Board of Adjustment approval (as determined by the land use regulations of the Township), the next step is to make an application to the appropriate board. If the use is permitted in the zone, the next determination is if any improvements are planned for the site. This process timeframe varies per application and may take multiple months.
If the use is not permitted in the zone, the business may submit an application to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for a use variance. In the rare instance that there is a gray area as to whether the use is permitted, the property owner may submit a request to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for interpretation, to see if the use would be acceptable on the site. The business owner does have options for addressing these scenarios. It is possible that there may be a gray area for this use, or that the use may not be permitted in that zone. Ideally the use would be permitted in the zone. As well, if the zoning of the property is known, the business owner can check the zoning code on the Township website to preliminarily gauge whether or not the business would be permitted on the proposed site.
The Zoning Officer can then assist in determining the zone of the property and if the business would be a permitted use. This entails a phone call or visit to the Township’s Planning and Zoning Division.
When a business is interested in locating in Edison, the first question to ask is if the potential location supports the proposed business use.
