Egg Harbor Township adopts ordinances reducing liquor licenses and adding enforceable community‑center parking rules
Summary
The township committee held public hearings, took no public testimony on either item, and adopted Ordinance No. 14 (reducing available plenary retail‑consumption liquor licenses) and Ordinance No. 15 (new parking regulations at the Community Center) by roll call votes recorded in the meeting.
Egg Harbor Township’s governing body adopted two ordinances during the meeting after holding the public hearings and closing the public portion on both matters.
Ordinance No. 14 amends chapter 64 (alcohol and beverages), specifically subsection 64‑3(d), to reduce the number of available plenary retail‑consumption licenses. The ordinance was opened for public comment; no speakers addressed the ordinance, the public portion was closed and committee members moved to adopt the measure. The roll-call procedure recorded affirmative votes and the presiding officer announced adoption.
Ordinance No. 15 amends chapter 213 (control for movement of traffic and parking) to establish enforceable parking regulations at the Township Community Center. As with Ordinance No. 14, the public portion drew no speakers, the committee closed the public portion and adopted the ordinance on roll call.
Both ordinances were presented to the committee by the township attorney during the public‑hearing segment. No amendments were offered on the floor and no members recorded a negative vote in the transcript. The meeting did not include additional documentation about implementation timelines or permitting changes tied to these ordinances.
Next steps: the adopted ordinances are effective according to the township’s code-adoption procedures; staff will implement the parking changes at the Community Center and update licensing records as required by municipal code.
