Middletown committee adopts several ordinances, sets July 13 public hearings
Summary
The Middletown Township Committee on June 24 adopted multiple ordinances on second reading, introduced several zoning and administrative ordinances for July 13 public hearings, approved a consent agenda and liquor-license resolutions, and directed items for future action.
The Middletown Township Committee on June 24 adopted multiple ordinances on second and final reading and introduced others for public hearing July 13, 2026.
The committee adopted Ordinances 2026‑3514 (accepting deed of roadway dedication for block 559 lots 1.01 and 1.02), 2026‑3515 (accepting a conservation easement on those lots on Murphy Road), 2026‑3516 (accepting a public sidewalk easement on block 559 lot 1.01), and bond ordinance 2026‑3517 (an amendment to bond ordinance 2025‑3475). Each of those items opened for public comment, drew no speakers, and passed on second and final reading by voice/roll-call vote.
The body introduced a slate of ordinances on first reading and set public hearings for July 13, 2026: Ordinance 2026‑3507 (repeal/replace and establish RTH‑10 zoning for block 1045 lots 2–4); 2026‑3508 (establish RTH‑11 multi‑family townhouse zoning for specified blocks/lots); 2026‑3509 (establish RTH‑12 for block 615 lot 81); 2026‑3519 (authorize a financial agreement with Port Monmouth Urban Renewal LLC under the long‑term tax exemption law, cited in the meeting as NJSA 40A:20‑1 et seq.); 2026‑3520 (amend township salary ordinance for non‑contractual employees for 2026); 2026‑3521 (authorize a new affordable housing pilot agreement with Lincroft Senior Citizen Housing Corporation); and 2026‑3522 (repeal and replace Chapter 37 governing emergency medical services).
The committee also adopted the consent agenda covering items 26‑182 through 26‑196 and, acting as the ABC issuing authority, approved Resolution 26‑197 (a person‑to‑person, place‑to‑place transfer for liquor license 1331‑43‑006) and Resolution 26‑198 (renewal of liquor licenses for the 2026–2027 term). All votes recorded in the meeting transcript showed affirmatives from the members responding at roll call.
Why it matters: The adopted ordinances finalize legal transfers of property interests and a bond amendment; the introduced ordinances will reshape zoning for several parcels and advance administrative updates on salaries, affordable housing, and EMS code—each scheduled for public hearing where residents can comment on details.
The committee concluded its regular business, heard committee remarks about local events and volunteer recognition, then opened the meeting’s public‑comment period.
