DEP has issued emergency coastal regulations to simplify the process for rebuilding in the coastal zone. Most of the revisions do not impact rebuilding of residential structures. Specifically, there have been no revisions to the Coastal High Hazard Area Rule, which prohibits multi-family housing in V-zones and restricts single-family housing to only infill lots. Simultaneous with the adoption of these emergency rules, there was a formal rule proposal with a 60-day public comment period and a public hearing scheduled.
