PUBLIC NOTICE
LONG BEACH TOWNSHIP
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Tip Holdings, LLC (the "Applicant") has made application to the Long Beach Township Land Use Board (the "Board") for preliminary and final major site plan approval and variances from the Long Beach Township Zoning Ordinance relative to proposed development at the property designated as Lot 2 in Block 6.46 on the Tax Map of the Township of Long Beach, located at 13302 Long Beach Boulevard in the Beach Haven Gardens Section of Long Beach Township.
The property is currently developed with a mixed-use building with an ice cream shop on the first floor and a single-family apartment above. The Applicant is seeking to demolish all existing improvements at the site and to construct a new three-story mixed-use building with an ice cream shop on the first floor, and a two-story single-family dwelling above the ice cream shop. The following variances are requested from the Long Beach Township Zoning Ordinance:
Section 205-59(A)(18) governs development of mixed-use buildings in the General Commercial Zone. Under Section 205-59(A)(18)(c), a minimum of 50% of the parking at the property shall be for the nonresidential uses located at the property, and such parking shall otherwise comply with the minimum space requirements set forth in the Code.
Here, there are 3 parking spaces required for the proposed single-family dwelling unit at the property. When reviewing the ice cream store alone, there are 2 parking spaces required for the proposed commercial use based upon the number of seats proposed in the ice cream shop. However, based upon the requirement that a minimum of 50% of the parking at the property be provided for nonresidential uses, and 3 parking spaces are required for the residential unit, a minimum of 3 parking spaces is required for the proposed ice cream shop. 2 parking spaces are proposed for the ice cream shop and 3 spaces are proposed for the residential unit. However, 2 of the proposed parking spaces encroach into the Long Beach Township site triangle. As a result, there are 3 total conforming off-street parking spaces proposed.
Based upon the fact that the Applicant does not meet all of the conditions of the Township's mixed-use ordinance, a conditional use variance is required.
Section 205-59(C)(1): The minimum required lot area in the C General Commercial Zone is 6,000 square feet. The area of the subject property is 3,907 square feet, which is a preexisting nonconformity that is not changing.
Two of the five proposed parking spaces at the site encroach into the site triangle, required by Section 205-6 of the Long Beach Township Zoning Ordinance, at the northwest corner of the property.
Section 205-59(G): The maximum permitted impervious coverage at the site is 75%. The existing impervious coverage is 95.25%; the proposed impervious coverage is 82.61%.
Although the Applicant believes that no additional variances, waivers or exceptions are required, any variances, waivers or exceptions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Board will be requested at the public hearing.
This matter is on the Clerk's Docket and a hearing has been ordered for June 10, 2026 at 6:30 PM in the Administration Building, First Floor Court Room, 6805 Long Beach Boulevard, Brant Beach, NJ, at which time persons interested may appear personally or by agent or attorney with a properly authorized power of attorney. Please note that this is an in-person meeting only. There will be no virtual component.
