Arthur J. Jantausch, and Ann M. Jantausch, Plaintiffs-Respondents v. Borough of Verona, a Municipal Corporation of…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Superior Court's reversal of the Borough of Verona Board of Adjustment's revocation of a building permit for a beauty salon, holding that the salon qualifies as a permissible home occupation incidental to the residence under the zoning ordinance. The Court reasoned that the primary use of the property remains residential and the ordinance permits such incidental uses. A dissent by Justice Jacobs argued the salon is a commercial enterprise that should not be allowed in a residential zone and would have reversed the judgment.
