Overview

The Planning Board shall follow the provisions of the Municipal Land Use Law 40:55D-25 and shall exercise its power in regard to:

1. The master Plan.
2. Subdivision control and site plan review.
3. The official map of the Borough.
4. The zoning ordinance including conditional uses. 
5. The capital improvement program.
6. Variances and certain building permits in conjunction with subdivision, site plan and conditional use approval.

The Planning Board can be summarized as the board of "permitted activities." It is responsible for implementing Borough policy and for reviewing building, development, and land use applications to ensure compliance with zoning, site plan, and subdivision ordinances.

These ordinances establish a series of ground rules to be met by any applicant. If the applicant meets the requirements of the particular ordinance, the Planning Board must approve the application unless a specific requirement of that ordinance is not satisfactorily fulfilled.

Oradell's governing body, by ordinance, created a Planning Board comprised of nine regular members and two alternates. The membership consists of the following four classes:

• Class I: The Mayor or the Mayor's designee in the absence of the Mayor.
• Class II: One of the officials of the municipality other than a member of the governing body, to be appointed by the Mayor.
• Class III: A member of the governing body to be appointed by it.
• Class IV: Other citizens of the municipality, to be appointed by the Mayor.

The Planning Board typically meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the Mayor and Council Chambers at Borough Hall. Except in January. Meetings are open to the public or can be viewed on OPTV.
