1. The Redevelopment Zone of the City of Long Branch comprises that area circumscribed by a line starting at the point of intersection of North Bath Avenue and Ocean Boulevard, then moving northward along Ocean Boulevard to the intersection of Ocean Boulevard and Chelsea Avenue. Then move westward along Chelsea Avenue to the intersection of Chelsea Avenue and Second Avenue. Then move northward along Second Avenue to the intersection of Second Avenue and Broadway. Continue across Broadway in a northerly direction along Union Avenue until Union Avenue makes a 90 degree turn westward. At this point, continue in a northerly direction until meeting the southerly property line of the abandoned Conrail Railroad right-of-way. At this point, follow the southerly side of the right-of-way eastward to Long Branch Avenue. Continue in a northerly direction along Long Branch Avenue until the northerly side of the Conrail right-of-way is reached. From this point, follow the northerly side of the Conrail right-of-way westward to a point which intersects the westerly fence line of the New Jersey Natural Gas facility. Continue in a northerly direction along the fence line past the foot of Brook Street (C.P. Williams Way). Continue to follow fence in northern and eastern directions along the property line, which divides New Jersey Natural Gas/Jersey Central Power & Light property from City of Long Branch Housing Authority property, to Central Avenue. Continue in an easterly direction to the Open Brook. Follow the Open Brook in a northerly direction to the point of intersection with the property line of the former Jerry Morgan Park, known as Block 309, Lot 6.02. Follow this property line in an easterly and southerly direction until Long Branch Avenue is met. Continue in a southerly direction along Long Branch Avenue to the intersection of Long Branch Avenue and Cooper Avenue. Continue in an easterly direction along Cooper Avenue until the intersection of Cooper Avenue and Witmer Place. Continue northward along Witmer Place until the intersection of Witmer Place and Sea View Avenue. Follow Sea View Avenue eastward until meeting the high water mark of the Atlantic Ocean. Follow the mean high water line inclusive of existing Pier riparian lands, known as Block 298, Lots 1.01 and 1.02, southward until reaching a point created by the intersection of the mean high water line and a line projected from the right-of-way for North Bath Avenue. Then turn westward along this line to North Bath Avenue to the point of origin, which is the intersection of Ocean Boulevard and North Bath Avenue.

(b) The development shall be in compliance with the Redevelopment Plan Ordinance and the Design Guidelines Ordinance of the City of Long Branch.

(c) The development must be approved by the Planning Board of the City of Long Branch, or, if it is a public development, by the City Council or the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Long Branch.

(d) The Long Branch Redevelopment Zone Permit established under this subchapter does not apply to applications for development before the Board of Adjustment of City of Long Branch or any other agency not specified in (c) above.

(e) If the Planning Board, the City Council, or the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Long Branch approves a development with a variance or waiver from a provision(s) of the Redevelopment Plan Ordinance or the Design Guidelines Ordinance of the City of Long Branch, and if the Department concurs in writing with such variance or waiver, the development is authorized under this Long Branch Redevelopment Zone Permit. The Department shall concur if the waiver or variance complies with this chapter, and if, notwithstanding the waiver or variance, the developments within the Redevelopment Zone continue to comply individually and collectively with this chapter.

(f) Construction, including site preparation, of a development proposed under this Long Branch Redevelopment Zone Permit shall not be started until either 45 calendar days after receipt by the Department of the final Planning Board approval under N.J.A.C. 7:7-7.2 or 90 calendar days after receipt by the Department of notice under N.J.A.C. 7:7-7.3(a)1, whichever is applicable.
