Council fixes accessory-use language, adopts technical amendment

Berkeley Heights Township Council · August 12, 2026

Summary

Council amended and adopted Ordinance 20-26-16 to restore missing words and clarify accessory-use definitions; attorney said changes are grammatical and not substantive.

The council adopted an amendment to Ordinance 20-26-16 that restores several words that had been dropped from the municipal code. The township attorney read the changes: additions to section 3.10.1 b (inserting "or incidental to"), an insertion of the word "consistent," and language clarifying the phrase "located within and excluding." These edits were described as grammatical fixes that do not alter substantive meaning.

The attorney said the language was essentially copied from the original ordinance and the changes merely "add back in words" to improve clarity. Council moved and approved the amendment by roll call, and the amended ordinance was then read and adopted.
