Effective January 7, 2020, the Middlesex Zoning Board of Adjustment and Planning Board merged into a new Joint Land Use Board.

The Joint Land Use Board consists of volunteer residents appointed by the Mayor who are responsible for preparing the Borough Master Plan in compliance with provisions of the New Jersey Municipal Land Use Law (MLUL) and who are responsible for reviewing zoning ordinances referred to them by the Mayor & Council. This Board also reviews applications that propose to utilize property in a manner not consistent with municipal zoning laws, applications for variances for structures, hears appeals of the Zoning Officer's determinations, and interprets the Zoning Code and Map.
