The Egg Harbor Township Committee on the evening’s agenda introduced multiple ordinances covering engineering standards, zoning rules, redevelopment plans and a tax‑abatement agreement, and set public hearings on each for Dec. 17, 2025 at 5 p.m.
Committee members introduced Ordinance 30 to amend township chapters on design, performance and improvement standards and to modernize in‑lieu contributions and sidewalk/curb requirements; Ordinance 31 to update grading, topsoil and seeding requirements for residential development and to align submission, inspection and compliance language with Vineland and NJDP regulations; and Ordinance 32 to add uniform address‑display requirements for commercial properties and revise zoning and engineering fees for new single‑family dwellings.
The committee also introduced Ordinance 33 to adopt a revised redevelopment plan for the Timber Ridge redevelopment area (Block 1223 Lots 56 and 8, and Block 1305 Lot 17), including transmittal to the planning board pursuant to "New Jersey statutes 48:12a‑7e" as read into the record. Ordinance 34 would authorize a tax‑abatement agreement with TGT 33 24 LLC for an approximately 43,050‑square‑foot indoor sports facility at 3324 Mckentown Road (Block 5505, Lot 20 and adjacent lots) under the five‑year exemption and abatement law. Ordinance 35 would adopt the Route 152 redevelopment plan for specified blocks and lots.
All six ordinances were introduced by motion and scheduled for public hearing on Dec. 17 at 5 p.m.; roll‑call votes were taken at the introductions and a single ‘No’ was recorded during the Ordinance 33 introduction. Committee members and staff repeatedly told residents that detailed project materials and the hearing are the appropriate forum for substantive technical and ownership questions.
