PUBLIC NOTICE
BOROUGH OF HARVEY CEDARS
Public notice is hereby given that Barn Light LLC (the "Applicant") has applied to the Land Use Board of the Borough of Harvey Cedars (the "Board"), Ocean County, New Jersey for minor site plan approval and variances from Borough Ordinances relative to proposed development on the property designated as Lot 5 in Block 49 on the Tax Map of the Borough of Harvey Cedars, located at 7706 Long Beach Boulevard. The property is currently developed with a mixed-use building containing an automotive repair shop on the ground floor, with an apartment above. The Applicant is seeking to convert the ground floor commercial space to a retail use, and to renovate the existing residential unit. The project will include substantial renovations to the existing building, along with minor additions. The following variances are requested from the Harvey Cedars Zoning Ordinance:
Section 13-11.3(b)(3): The minimum required rear yard setback is 10 feet. Being that this is a corner lot, there are two front yards. The westerly yard is being considered as the side yard, and the southerly yard is being considered as the rear yard. The existing rear yard setback is 9.5 feet; the proposed rear yard setback is 5.5 feet to the new staircase.
Section 13-7.2(c): No building or structure shall exceed a maximum sloped-roof height of thirty-two (32) feet. When existing setbacks do not meet or exceed the required setbacks of the district, the height shall not exceed thirty (30) feet. A flat-roofed building with a pitch less than one in twelve, or other structure, shall not exceed twenty-eight (28) feet (26 feet when existing setbacks do not meet the required setbacks of the district). Deck railings shall not exceed thirty-one (31) feet in height (29 feet when existing setbacks do not meet the required setbacks of the district).
Due to the nonconforming rear yard setback, the maximum permitted height of flat roofs is 26 feet. A portion of the renovated building contains a flat roof with a proposed height of 28 feet.
Section 13-11.7: One off-street loading space with minimum dimensions of 10 feet by 25 feet is required. The Applicant is not proposing a loading zone.
If the Land Use Board determines that any other variances, exceptions or waivers are necessary or appropriate at the hearing, then such variances, waivers or exceptions will be requested.
A public hearing has been scheduled for November 20, 2025 at 7:00 p.m. in the Harvey Cedars Municipal Building, 7606 Long Beach Boulevard, Harvey Cedars, New Jersey, at which time any interested persons may appear and have an opportunity to be heard on this application.
Documents pertaining to this application are available for inspection by the public during normal business hours Monday through Friday in the office of the Land Use Board at the Harvey Cedars Municipal Building.
