The Zoning Board approved a freestanding Starbucks pad and drive-through at 310 New Jersey State Highway 36 after the applicant reduced the building to 1,900 sq ft and reconfigured parking; approval was unanimous among eligible voters.

The Board approved ZB-2025-06, an application by Consumer Center Paramount 1, LLC to add a freestanding pad site for a Starbucks with a drive-through at 310 New Jersey State Highway 36. The applicant revised plans to reduce the building size from 2,338 square feet to 1,900 square feet (2,070 square feet footprint), and reconfigured parking so the drive-through lane runs inside an aisle that also functions as a bypass lane. The site is mostly in West Long Branch with a portion in the Borough of Eatontown and is located in the HC Zone within West Long Branch.

Chairman Mark Engel moved for approval and Mr. Anastasios Diacogiannis seconded; the roll call recorded 'Yea' votes from all eligible members present and the application was approved with conditions. The approval is recorded as preliminary and final site plan relief together with the requested 'D' and bulk variances; the Board also adopted specific conditions attached to the motion (conditions text not transcribed).
