Understanding Land Use Regulations

Welcome to Understanding Land Use Regulations! This five-part training resource provides the background needed to understand the laws under the governance of the State of New Jersey, through the Division of Land Use Regulations.

Modules include:

  1. An Overview and Waterfront Development
  2. Coastal Zone Management Rules and CAFRA
  3. Freshwater and Coastal Wetlands
  4. Stream Encroachment and Tidelands
  5. A Land Use Planning Web Quest

You may explore any of the five modules. Each module is specific to the regulations it covers.

Each section contains 1) notes that you are encouraged to print and use as you move through the modules, and 2) the module itself, which is a web-based PowerPoint presentation. Note: Some of the images load up slowly. Some slides may require close to a minute. In an effort to save time, a link to a PDF version is also provided.

At the end of each module you will be provided a weblink to an evaluation of the information and the set-up of the training. Please complete the survey. It should only take about 2 minutes.

Your input is important. If during the course you have questions, please feel free to contact Lisa Auermuller at auermull@marine.rutgers.edu or at 609-812-0649.
