Ordinance introduced to add state and national register sites to Red Bank’s preservation zoning
Summary
Staff told the commission an ordinance has been introduced at council to amend the zoning/historic-preservation ordinance to include sites listed on the state and National Registers; planning‑board master‑plan consistency review is scheduled for June 10 and council second reading/adoption for June 11, 2026.
Red Bank staff told the Historic Preservation Commission on May 20 that the borough council introduced an ordinance to amend the zoning code so that sites designated on the State and National Historic Registers would be reflected in the local historic‑preservation ordinance.
Staff explained the next steps: the planning board will review the ordinance for master‑plan consistency on June 10, and the ordinance is expected to come before council for second reading and adoption on June 11, 2026. The commission discussed certification requirements for members and confirmed expected timelines for committee and council review.
Why it matters: If adopted, the change will bring locally regulated zoning provisions into alignment with properties listed on broader registers, which could change review pathways for projects involving those sites.
Process details provided at the meeting: Staff said the ordinance was introduced at council and then summarized the procedural schedule: planning‑board review for master‑plan consistency (June 10) and council second reading/adoption (June 11). Staff also reminded commissioners that applicants for designation must meet training and resume‑certification requirements by the next application cycle.
Next steps: The commission did not take formal action on the ordinance during this meeting; staff will monitor the planning board review and council calendar and notify the commission of any required input.
