Planning Board & Zoning
Mission Statement
It is our goal to fairly and openly administer the regulations of development as set forth by the City of Margate’s Master Plan and Land Use Ordinance, Chapter 175. This commitment is aimed at safeguarding the well-being, safety, and overall welfare of both the residents and visitors of the City of Margate.
Our dedicated staff is here to assist all community members seeking action from the Planning Board. Zoning Officer, Roger McLarnon, is available to ensure a prompt and efficient review process. He also offers clarification on our ordinance and pertinent regulations from outside jurisdictions, such as FEMA, NJDEP, and more. To schedule a meeting with the Zoning Officer, we recommend emailing him directly at mclarnon_roger@margate-nj.com.

- Submission of Staff Committee Applications.
