The Borough of Ridgefield Zoning Board

An Overview

The Zoning Board reviews applications that propose to utilize property in a manner not consistent with municipal zoning laws. They preview applications for variances that are basically non-permitted uses, and the Zoning Board is empowered to grant exceptions to the zoning ordinances in cases where the literal and rigid interpretation and enforcement of the zoning laws would cause hardship or injustice. These \“non-permitted\” uses are based upon the zoning ordinances established by the Borough.
