Jersey City Planning Board, Zoning Board of Adjustment, and City Council regulate development through the JCRA (Jersey City Redevelopment Agency) redevelopment plans that cover large portions of the waterfront and downtown. Major redevelopment areas including Journal Square, Bayfront, and the Hudson River waterfront each have specific redevelopment plans with tailored bulk, height, and use standards that supersede baseline zoning. The city uses redevelopment area designations extensively, meaning most large-scale projects proceed through redevelopment plan amendments rather than traditional rezoning. PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) agreements are commonly paired with redevelopment approvals, making planning board hearings critical for tracking tax abatement terms alongside land use entitlements.
