Davis Enterprises, a Partnership, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Richard Karpf, Defendant-Appellant, and Jack Karpf and…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for the Law Division to enter an order affirming the Cherry Hill Planning Board’s grant of the requested variances, holding that an adjoining owner's offer to purchase at fair market value is a relevant but not dispositive factor and does not require denial of a hardship variance. The Court also limited the conditional‑variance doctrine to vacant, undersized lots, not to developed commercial properties.
