Zoning Interpretation Our office has reviewed all the materials provided associated with the application. The Rider to application provides two definitions for a Hospital, one provided by the Zoning Officer from the New Jersey Department of Health, which defines a hospital as, Facilities for the diagnosis, treatment or care of individuals suffering from illness, injury or deformity and where emergency, outpatient, surgical, obstetrical, convalescent or other medical and nursing care is rendered for periods exceeding 24 hours. The applicant relies on the New Jersey Department of Health Hospital Licensing Standards, which defines hospitals as, An institution, whether operated for profit or not, whether maintained, supervised or controlled by an agency of the government of the State or any county or municipality or not, which maintains and operates facilities for the diagnosis, treatment or care of two or more non-related individuals suffering from illness, injury or deformity and where emergency, outpatient, surgical, obstetrical, convalescent or other medical and nursing care is rendered for periods exceeding 24 hours. Generally, we find both to be similar in nature and neither supercedes the other. Further, under its “Facility Types” page, The New Jersey Department of Health notes “it licenses many different types of facilities.” It provides definitions for these facility types, including the following: Behavioral Management Program Provides specialized long-term care for residents with severe behavior management problems, such as combative, aggressive, and disruptive behaviors. Drug abuse treatment Methadone detoxification, methadone maintenance, and/or drug-free counseling programs.
