Charles N. Winetsky argued the cause for appellant (Winetsky and Winetsky, attorneys).

The opinion of the Court was delivered by CLIFFORD, J.

We granted certification, 107 N.J. 136 (1987), to determine whether under the Municipal Land Use Law, N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 to -112 (MLUL), a tie vote of a municipal governing body affirms or reverses a grant of a use variance by the board of adjustment. We conclude, as did the Appellate Division, that it constitutes a reversal. We therefore affirm the judgment below.
