Supreme Court of New Jersey

Shipyard Associates, L.P. v. City of Hoboken (082446) (Hudson County & Statewide)

May 5, 2020

Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court affirmed that Hoboken’s Ordinances Z‑263 and Z‑264 are zoning ordinances subject to the Municipal Land Use Law’s two‑year protection for final approvals, that N.J.S.A. 40:55D‑52(a) contains no public‑health‑and‑safety exception, and that Shipyard’s protection period was tolled by the City’s litigation, preventing retroactive application of the ordinances.
