Title:

Overlay Zoning in Middlesex County, NJ [New Jersey]

Description:

This dataset represents the Zoning Overlay layer for the 25 municipalities in Middlesex County. These districts are applied over one or more underlying base zoning districts, establishing supplementary zoning standards and criteria for covered properties in addition to the zoning standards and criteria of the underlying base zoning district. Overlay zoning districts may be used by the municipality as a means to promote specific types of development projects that are intended to meet specific community goals. They also may be implemented to protect special features such as wetlands, steep slopes, environmentally sensitive areas and/or historic buildings (etc.). An overlay zoning district can share common boundaries with base zoning boundaries or may cut across base zoning district boundaries.The Middlesex County Zoning Overlay GIS dataset was developed to standardize zoning maps, which are legally adopted by municipalities, and thus exhibit varying levels of detail, accuracy, and currentness, and vary in style. For the Zoning Base layer, see the related Base Zoning in Middlesex County, NJ item. See metadata items for more information.This dataset is updated several times per year based on best available information available from municipalities in Middlesex County. For authoritative information, contact the municipality. Municipal governments designate and administer zoning in New Jersey. This data is for information only and final decision making should only occur after consulting with municipalities to confirm the information contained in this dataset.
