NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, by the Township Council of the Township of Jackson, County of Ocean, State of New Jersey, that Chapter 162-4 of the Township Code be amended as follows:

SECTION I. Purpose. The Township of Jackson has carefully reviewed its current and existing constructions fees charged for new construction within the municipality. In accordance with N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.28, the fees for new construction are calculated based upon the per unit volume of a particular structure. In addition, pursuant to N.J.A.C. 5:23:4.18, said unit rates may vary for different occupancy groups or structures of different sizes within the same occupancy group. The Township has determined that the permit cost for larger, open-air structures in use group A4 should be adjusted since the permit cost for such large open-air structures has no rational relationship to costs incurred by the municipality to review same due to the large volume of air which would otherwise be included in the permit cost calculation. It is the purpose of this Ordinance to correct this discrepancy so as to insure the fees generated do not substantially exceed the costs associated with the operations of the Township's Building Department.

SECTION II. A new subsection shall be added to Chapter 162-4 which shall state as follows:

[1] No change.
