BOROUGH OF SHIP BOTTOM
Public notice is hereby given that Mundy Consulting, Inc. (the "Applicant") has applied to the Land Use Review Board of the Borough of Ship Bottom (the "Board"), Ocean County, New Jersey for amended preliminary and final major site plan approval and variances relative to development on the property designated as Lots 14, 15, and 16 in Block 29 on the Tax Map of the Borough of Ship Bottom, located at 2400 Long Beach Boulevard. The property is developed with a commercial building that is currently vacant. The Applicant is proposing to renovate the interior of the building and utilize the property as a golf simulation facility. The facility will feature 11 golf simulators, including executive and junior suites, designed to offer a high-end, year-round recreational experience for both residents and visitors to Long Beach Island. The facility will primarily operate on a membership and rental model, supplemented by event hosting and retail sales.
The proposed golf simulation facility is not listed as a permitted use within the SC Shore Commercial District. Therefore, a special reasons variance is required. Using a retail use to provide parking calculations under 16.44.010(F)(1) of the Ship Bottom Zoning Ordinance, and using an approximate floor area of 8,500 square feet of commercial space, 34 parking spaces would be required at the site. There are 17 existing parking spaces at the site, and 17 parking spaces are proposed. There are no proposed changes to the existing footprint of the building, and no proposed changes to the existing parking configuration. There are preexisting nonconformities relative to the existing building at the property, which are not changing. If required, the Applicant requests variance relief relative to these preexisting nonconformities. Any other variances, waivers or exceptions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Board will be requested at the public hearing.
A public hearing has been scheduled for March 17, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. in the Court Room of the Municipal Building, located at 1621 Long Beach Boulevard, Ship Bottom, New Jersey.
