Overview: The Cape May Planning Board has taken steps to prohibit the use of artificial turf in residential landscaping within the city. This significant measure is part of an ordinance that was extensively reviewed and is now recommended for consistency with the master plan. The ordinance allows existing artificial turf to remain until it needs to be replaced but prohibits new installations in landscaped areas. Exceptions exist for commercial and municipal uses, such as miniature golf courses and parks.
Overview: The Cape May Planning Board recently approved a series of improvements for the Montreal Inn and an associated guest house, following discussions centered on parking requirements, outdoor seating regulations, and the overall impact on the historic seaside town’s character. The project’s approval came with conditions related to parking, seating arrangements, environmental recommendations, and compliance with historic and zoning regulations.
