Which of the following boards is not part of municipal planning and urban development?

The Urban Renewal Board is not typically considered part of the standard framework for municipal planning and urban development as commonly understood in New Jersey's planning process. Instead, this board often focuses specifically on redevelopment efforts within designated areas, addressing issues related to blight and the revitalization of specific neighborhoods or districts, rather than encompassing the broader scope of urban planning and land use management typically overseen by other bodies.

In contrast, the Governing Body, Zoning Board of Adjustments, and Land Use Board play key roles in the overall structure of municipal planning. The Governing Body (which includes the elected officials of the municipality) is responsible for enacting ordinances and policies that guide development. The Zoning Board of Adjustments handles variance requests and ensures that development aligns with zoning regulations, providing flexibility in unique cases. The Land Use Board typically oversees land development applications, ensuring compliance with local land use laws and regulations.

Therefore, distinguishing the Urban Renewal Board's specific focus from the more comprehensive functions performed by the other boards helps clarify its role in municipal governance and planning structures.
