Currently, residents who have voiced concerns over changes of use of single family homes in their neighborhoods are now provided with a "form" from the Consent Order.
Know, it is NOT a requirement to complete this form, and residents can file "oral" complaints. Moreover, the form sent to residents is not intended for a complaint for an illegal use. Instead it is intended if a resident feels their "religious rights" to assembly has been violated.
Furthermore, it appears that the DOJ provided a pathway to allow uses, as long as they conform and should go before a land-use board. But the DOJ did not provide a pathway for residents who such use negatively affects. Thus it could be seen as an Equal Protection and Due Process issue, which might constitute a violation of the United States Constitution.
By sending this form to residents who are "protecting property, and of pursuing and obtaining safety and happiness," NJ Constitution, Article 1, paragraph 1, the township appears to be "Establishing" without affording "petition or speech" by residents who do not use such facilities.
Know your rights and understand what the Consent Order really says, NOT the interpretation of the Corrupt Council.
