Take Notice that the following entitled Ordinance was introduced and passed on first
reading at a meeting of the Township Committee of the Township of Mannington in the County
of Salem and State of New Jersey on September 21, 2026, and will be considered for final passage after a public hearing at a meeting to be held by said Township Committee at the Mannington Townhall, 491 Route 45, Mannington, New Jersey 08079 on November 5, 2026, at 5:30 pm. The title of said Ordinance is as follows:
Mannington Township
Ordinance No. 26-07
An Ordinance Amending Chapter 70 (“Land Development”) of the
Mannington Township Code, and the Zoning Map that is Included
in that Chapter, to Eliminate the Cons-Conservation Zoning
District, and to Reconfigure Adjoining Zoning Districts As Shown
on the Amended Zoning Map
The purpose of the Ordinance is to amend the Mannington Township Land Development Ordinance and Zoning Map to enact the following zoning district classification and boundary
change that was recommended in the report entitled “2024 Master Plan Reexamination Report
Mannington Township,” prepared by Michael F. Sullivan, ASLA, AICP, and Donna Miller, AICP,
PP, CFM, of the firm of Clarke Caton Hintz, 100 Barrack Street, Trenton, New Jersey 08608,
which report was adopted by the Mannington Township Planning Board as part of its periodic
general reexamination of the Mannington Township Master Plan pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-89,
as memorialized in the Planning Board’s Resolution 11-2024, dated September 12, 2024:
- The Conservation zone is based on, and intended to follow, the waters and wetlands
within Mannington. However, these areas may change over time, leading to confusion
regarding the extent of the zone and the parcels it affects as illustrated in the zoning
map below. It is recommended that the Township consider eliminating the
Conservation zone in favor of development standards to address intensity and
proximity of development to these regulated features, taking into account relevant State
regulations. In concert with that change, the existing zones outside of the Conservation
zone should be reconfigured to cover the areas now within the Conservation zone, as
shown in the Recommended Zoning District Boundaries maps.
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 35:3-1, et seq., the Township of Mannington will publish this Notice
on the Township’s official website https://manningtontwp.com/, a link to which is also intended
to be included in the New Jersey Secretary of State’s statewide listing of Legal Notices pages at
https://nj.gov/state/statewide-legal-notices-list.shtml.
